Forced oscillation for higher order functional differential equations

Yuan Gong Sun, Taher S. Hassan

Abstract:
We establish some oscillation criteria for the solutions to forced higher-order differential equations. We do not assume that the forcing term is the n-th derivative of an oscillatory function, and do not assume that the coefficients are of a definite sign. Our results are illustrated with examples.
