Oscillation of Second-Order Nonlinear Delay Dynamic Equations on Time Scales

In this work, we use the generalized Riccati transformation and the inequality technique to establish some new oscillation criteria for the second-order nonlinear delay dynamic equation (p(t)(xΔ(t))γ)Δ+q(t)f(x(τ(t)))=0, on a time scale , where γ is the quotient of odd positive integers and p(t) and...

Description
Summary:In this work, we use the generalized Riccati transformation and the inequality technique to establish some new oscillation criteria for the second-order nonlinear delay dynamic equation (p(t)(xΔ(t))γ)Δ+q(t)f(x(τ(t)))=0, on a time scale , where γ is the quotient of odd positive integers and p(t) and q(t) are positive right-dense continuous (rd-continuous) functions on 𝕋. Our results improve and extend some results established by Sun et al. 2009. Also our results unify the oscillation of the second-order nonlinear delay differential equation and the second-order nonlinear delay difference equation. Finally, we give some examples to illustrate our main results.
