Abstract
Differential equations of second order appear in a wide variety of applications in physics, mathematics, and engineering. In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are established for oscillations of solutions to second-order half-linear delay differential equations of the form ς y u ′ y a ′ + p y u c ϑ y = 0 , for y ≥ y 0 , under the assumption ∫ ∞ ς η − 1 / a = ∞ . Two cases are considered for a < c and a > c , where a and c are the quotients of two positive odd integers. Two examples are given to show the effectiveness and applicability of the result.

Summary
Differential equations (DEs) have received a lot of attention, and it is an active research area among scientists and engineers [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. e DEs have ability to formulate many complex phenomena in various fields such as biology, fluid mechanics, plasma physics, fluid mechanics, and optics; many exact and numerical schemes have been being derived such as [9,10,11,12,13,14,15]. Dzurina and Dzurina [27] have studied the oscillatory behavior of the solutions of (2) under the assumptions 0 ≤ q(y) < ∞ and limy⟶∞Υ(y) ∞. In [28], Bohner et al have studied the oscillatory behavior of solutions of (2) under a c, limy⟶∞Υ(y) < ∞, and 0 ≤ q(y) < 1. In [30], Ali has studied the oscillatory behavior of the solutions of (2), under the assumptions limy⟶∞Υ(y) < ∞ and q(y) ≥ 0.
