Oscillatory Behavior of Second-Order Nonlinear Neutral Differential Equations

Published version of an article in the journal: Abstract and Applied Analysis. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/143614 Open Access We study oscillatory behavior of solutions to a class of second-order nonlinear neutral differential equations under the assumptions that allow applications to differential equations with delayed and advanced arguments. New theorems do not need several restrictive assumptions required in related results reported in the literature. Several examples are provided to show that the results obtained are sharp even for second-order ordinary differential equations and improve related contributions to the subject.

Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, Difference Equations, and Dynamic Equations on Time Scales

We are pleased to present this special issue. This volume reflects an increasing interest in the analysis of qualitative behavior of solutions to differential equations, difference equations, and dynamic equations on time scales. Numerous applications arising in the engineering and natural sciences call for the development of new efficient methods and for the modification and refinement of known techniques that should be adjusted for the analysis of new classes of problems. The twofold goal of this special issue is to reflect both the state-of-the-art theoretical research and important recent advances in the solution of applied problems.

Oscillation of fourth-order quasilinear differential equations

We study oscillatory behavior of a class of fourth-order quasilinear differential equations without imposing restrictive conditions on the deviated argument. This allows applications to functional differential equations with delayed and advanced arguments, and not only these. New theorems are based on a thorough analysis of possible behavior of nonoscillatory solutions; they complement and improve a number of results reported in the literature. Three illustrative examples are presented.

Asymptotic Behavior of Higher-Order Quasilinear Neutral Differential Equations

Published version of an article in the journal: Abstract and Applied Analysis. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/395368 Open Access We study asymptotic behavior of solutions to a class of higher-order quasilinear neutral differential equations under the assumptions that allow applications to even- and odd-order differential equations with delayed and advanced arguments, as well as to functional differential equations with more complex arguments that may, for instance, alternate indefinitely between delayed and advanced types. New theorems extend a number of results reported in the literature. Illustrative examples are presented.

Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1687-2770-2014-107 Open Access We study asymptotic behavior of solutions to a class of odd-order delay differential equations. Our theorems extend and complement a number of related results reported in the literature. An illustrative example is provided.

On asymptotic behavior of solutions to higher-order sublinear Emden–Fowler delay differential equations

Oscillation of Second-Order Neutral Differential Equations

Author's version of an article in the journal: Funkcialaj Ekvacioj. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.math.kobe-u.ac.jp/~fe/ We study oscillatory behavior of a class of second-order neutral differential equations relating oscillation of these equations to existence of positive solutions to associated first-order functional differential inequalities. Our assumptions allow applications to differential equations with both delayed and advanced arguments, and not only. New theorems complement and improve a number of results reported in the literature. Two illustrative examples are provided.

Oscillation of second-order nonlinear differential equations with damping

Abstract We study oscillatory properties of solutions to a class of nonlinear second-order differential equations with a nonlinear damping. New oscillation criteria extend those reported in [ROGOVCHENKO, Yu. V.—TUNCAY, F.: Oscillation criteria for second-order nonlinear differential equations with damping, Nonlinear Anal. 69 (2008), 208–221] and improve a number of related results.

Oscillation criteria for even-order neutral differential equations

Abstract We study oscillatory behavior of solutions to a class of even-order neutral differential equations relating oscillation of higher-order equations to that of a pair of associated first-order delay differential equations. As illustrated with two examples in the final part of the paper, our criteria improve a number of related results reported in the literature.

Oscillation results for second-order nonlinear neutral differential equations

Published version of an article in the journal: Advances in Difference Equations. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1687-1847-2013-336 Open Access We obtain several oscillation criteria for a class of second-order nonlinear neutral differential equations. New theorems extend a number of related results reported in the literature and can be used in cases where known theorems fail to apply. Two illustrative examples are provided.

On the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a class of third-order nonlinear neutral differential equations

Abstract By using comparison principles, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a class of third-order nonlinear neutral differential equations. Due to less restrictive assumptions on the coefficients of the equation and on the deviating argument τ , our criteria improve a number of related results reported in the literature.
