Abstract
The paper is devoted to the study of oscillation of solutions to a class of second-order half-linear neutral differential equations with delayed arguments. New oscillation criteria are established, and they essentially improve the well-known results reported in the literature, including those for non-neutral differential equations. The adopted approach refines the classical Riccati transformation technique by taking into account such part of the overall impact of the delay that has been neglected in the earlier results. The effectiveness of the obtained criteria is illustrated via examples.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this journal is to provide a multi-disciplinary forum of discussion in mathematics and its applications in which the essentiality of inequalities is highlighted. This Journal accepts high quality articles containing original research results and survey articles of exceptional merit. Subject matters should be strongly related to inequalities, such as, but not restricted to, the following: inequalities in analysis, inequalities in approximation theory, inequalities in combinatorics, inequalities in economics, inequalities in geometry, inequalities in mechanics, inequalities in optimization, inequalities in stochastic analysis and applications.
