Title: Linear delay differential equation with a positive and a negative term Author: Faiz Ahmad (King Abdulaziz Univ., Saudi Arabia) Abstract: We study a linear delay differential equation with a single positive and a single negative term. We find a necessary condition for the oscillation of all solutions. We also find sufficient conditions for oscillation, which improve the known conditions. Submitted June 21, 2003.
