Oscillation criteria for third order nonlinear delay dynamic equations on time scales

Zhenlai Han, Tongxing Li, Shurong Sun, Fengjuan Cao (2010)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

By means of Riccati transformation technique, we establish some new oscillation criteria for third-order nonlinear delay dynamic equations ( ( x Δ Δ ( t ) ) γ ) Δ + p ( t ) x γ ( τ ( t ) ) = 0 on a time scale ; here γ > 0 is a quotient of odd positive integers and p a real-valued positive rd-continuous function defined on . Our results not only extend and improve the results of T. S. Hassan [Math. Comput. Modelling 49 (2009)] but also unify the results on oscillation of third-order delay differential equations and third-order delay difference...

Oscillation of even order nonlinear delay dynamic equations on time scales

Lynn H. Erbe, Raziye Mert, Allan Peterson, Ağacık Zafer (2013)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

One of the important methods for studying the oscillation of higher order differential equations is to make a comparison with second order differential equations. The method involves using Taylor's Formula. In this paper we show how such a method can be used for a class of even order delay dynamic equations on time scales via comparison with second order dynamic inequalities. In particular, it is shown that nonexistence of an eventually positive solution of a certain second order delay dynamic inequality...

Periodicity, almost periodicity for time scales and related functions

Chao Wang, Ravi P. Agarwal, Donal O’Regan (2016)

Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems

In this paper, we study almost periodic and changing-periodic time scales considered byWang and Agarwal in 2015. Some improvements of almost periodic time scales are made. Furthermore, we introduce a new concept of periodic time scales in which the invariance for a time scale is dependent on an translation direction. Also some new results on periodic and changing-periodic time scales are presented.
