Title: Oscillatory behavior of second-order neutral difference equations with positive and negative coefficients Authors: Ethiraju Thandapani (Univ. of Madras, Chennai, India) Krishnan Thangavelu (Pachiappa's College, Chennai, India) Ekambaram Chandrasekaran (Presidency College, Chennai, India) Abstract: Oscillation criteria are established for solutions of forced and unforced second-order neutral difference equations with positive and negative coefficients. These results generalize some existing results in the literature. Examples are provided to illustrate our results. Submitted August 7, 2009. Published November 12, 2009.
