Abstract

In this paper, we study the asymptotic and oscillatory properties of a certain class of third-order neutral delay differential equations with middle term. We obtain new characterizations of oscillation of the third-order neutral equation in terms of oscillation of a related, well-studied, second-order linear equation without damping. An Example is provided to illustrate the main results.

  • (t) + b (t) y0 (t) + q (t) f ( x (σ (t))) = 0, for t ≥ t0, where y (t) = x (t) + p (t) x (τ (t)), α is a ratio of positive odd integers and f ∈ C (R, R) satisfies f ( x ) ≥ kx α for x 6= 0

  • In view of [24](Theorem 1), we see that the first-order delay differential Equation (21) has a positive a solution, a contradiction

  • If (31) hold, it is clear that all conditions of Theorem 5 are satisfied, and every solution of (1), or y0 (t), is oscillatory
