Sufficient conditions are presented for all bounded solutions of the linear system of delay differential equations $${(-1)}^{m+1}\frac{d^m{y}_i\left(t\right)}{d{t}^m}+\sum _{j=1}^n{q}_{ij}{y}_j(t-h_{jj})=0,m\ge 1,i=1,2,...,n,$$ to be oscillatory, where $q_{ij}\epsilon (-\infty ,\infty )$, $h_{jj}\in (0,\infty )$, $i,j=1,2,...,n$. Also, we study the oscillatory behavior of all bounded solutions of the linear system of neutral differential equations $${(-1)}^{m+1}\frac{d^m}{d{t}^m}(y_i\left(t\right)+c{y}_i(t-g))+\sum _{j=1}^n{q}_{ij}{y}_j(t-h)=0,$$ where $c$, $g$ and $h$ are real constants and $i=1,2,...,n$.

In this paper, sufficient conditions have been obtained for oscillation of solutions of a class of $n$th order linear neutral delay-differential equations. Some of these results have been used to study oscillatory behaviour of solutions of a class of boundary value problems for neutral hyperbolic partial differential equations.

The aim of this paper is to present the sufficient conditions for oscillation of solutions of the system of differential equations of neutral type.

In this paper we compare the asymptotic behaviour of the advanced functional equation $$L_{n}u\left(t\right)-F(t,u\left[g\left(t\right)\right])=0$$ with the asymptotic behaviour of the set of ordinary functional equations $${\alpha }_{i}u\left(t\right)-F(t,u\left(t\right))=0.$$ On the basis of this comparison principle the sufficient conditions for property (B) of equation (*) are deduced.
