Second-Order Neutral Differential Equations: Improved Criteria for Testing the Oscillation
The main purpose of this study is to establish new improved conditions for testing the oscillation of solutions of second-order neutral differential equation r l u ′ l γ ′ + q l x β σ l = 0 , where l ≥ l 0 and u l ≔ x l + p x ϱ l . By optimizing the commonly used relationship x > 1 − p u , we obtain new criteria that give sharper results for oscillation than the previous related results. Moreover, we obtain criteria of an iterative nature. Our new results are illustrated by an example.
