Oscillation of Nonlinear Neutral Delay Differential Equations

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 34K15, 34C10.

In this paper, we study the oscillatory behavior of first order nonlinear neutral delay differential equation (x(t) − q(t) x(t − σ(t))) ′ +f(t,x( t − τ(t))) = 0, where σ, τ ∈ C([t0,∞),(0,∞)), q О C([t0,∞), [0,∞)) and f ∈ C([t0,∞) ×R,R). The obtained results extended and improve several of the well known previously results in the literature. Our results are illustrated with an example.
