Interval oscillation criteria for damped second-order delay differential equations with nonlinearities given by Riemann-Stieltjes integral

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the oscillatory behaviour of certain types of damped second-order forced delay differential equations with nonlinearities given by Riemann-Stieltjes integral. By using the Riccati transformation, some inequalities and integral averaging technique, interval oscillation criteria of both El-Sayed type and Kong type are established. Finally, two examples are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
