Necessary and sufficient conditions for oscillation of Robin boundary problems of neutral functional parabolic equations (Q1860387): Difference between revisions

The goal of the paper is to give some necessary and sufficient conditions for oscillation of neutral parabolic equations with deviating arguments of the form \[ {\partial\over \partial t}\left[u(x,t)-\sum^L_{k=1}\lambda_k (t)u(x,t-\tau_k) \right]= a(t)\Delta u(x,t)+ \sum^m_{i=1} a_i(t)\Delta u\bigl(x,p_i(t) \bigr)-\sum^r_{j=1} q_j(t)u\bigl( x,\sigma_j(t) \bigr), \] where \((x,t)\in\Omega\times[0,\infty)\). \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) with piecewise smooth boundary \(\partial\Omega\), and \(\Delta\) is the Laplacian in the Euclidean \(n\)-space \(\mathbb{R}^n\).
