Oscillation criteria for even-order nonlinear neutral difference equations with continuous variables

Shuhui Wu, Pargat Singh Calay, Zhanyuan Hou

Abstract:
In this article, we study the oscillatory behavior of solutions to even-order nonlinear neutral difference equations of the form
$$
 \Delta^m_\tau( x(t)-px(t-r))+f(t,x(g(t)))=0.
 $$
Using an integral transformation, the Riccati transformation, and iteration, we obtain sufficient conditions for all solutions to be oscillatory. Examples are also given to illustrate the obtained criteria.
