Abstract

This paper concerns the oscillation of solutions to the second-order dynamic equation on a time scale which is unbounded above. No sign conditions are imposed on , , and . The function is assumed to satisfy and for . In addition, there is no need to assume certain restrictive conditions and also the both cases are considered. Our results will improve and extend results in (Baoguo et al. in Can. Math. Bull. 54:580-592, 2011; Bohner et al. in J. Math. Anal. Appl. 301:491-507, 2005; Hassan et al. in Comput. Math. Anal. 59:550-558, 2010; Hassan et al. in J. Differ. Equ. Appl. 17:505-523, 2011) and many known results on nonlinear oscillation. These results have significant importance to the study of oscillation criteria on discrete time scales such as , , , or and the space of harmonic numbers . Some examples illustrating the importance of our results are also included. MSC:34K11, 39A10, 39A99.

Summary

Introduction

The theory of time scales, which has recently received a lot of attention, was introduced by Stefan Hilger in his PhD dissertation written under the direction of Bernd Aulbach (see [ ]). This paper concerns the oscillation of solutions to the second-order dynamic equation (r(t)x (t)) + p(t)x (t) + q(t)f (xσ (t)) = 0, on a time scale T which is unbounded above. The function f ∈ C(R, R) is assumed to satisfy xf (x) > and f (x) > for x = .
