Oscillation properties for systems of hyperbolic differential equations of neutral type (Q1583942): Difference between revisions

The author obtains several groups of sufficient conditions for the oscillation of the system of partial functional differential equations \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{\partial^2}{\partial t} \Biggl[p(t)u_i(x,t)+\sum_{r=1}^d \lambda_r (t)u_i(x,t-\tau_r)\Biggr]&= a_i(t)\Delta u_i(x,t)\\ +\sum_{j=1}^m \sum_{k=1}^sa_{ijk}\Delta u_j(x,\rho_k(t))-q_i(x,t)u_i(x,t) &- \sum_{j=1}^m\sum_{h=1}^l q_{ijh}(x,t)u_j(x,\sigma_h(x,t)),\\ (x,t)\in\Omega\times[0,+\infty)&\equiv G,\;i=1,2,\cdots,m \end{aligned}\tag{1} \] with the boundary condition \[ \frac{\partial u_i(x,t)}{\partial n}+g_i(x,t)u_i(x,t)=0,\quad (x,t)\in \partial \Omega\times [0,+\infty), \tag{2} \] or \[ u_i(x,t)=0,\quad (x,t)\in \partial \Omega\times [0,+\infty), \tag{3} \] where \(\Delta\) is the Laplacian operator; \(n\) is the unit exterior normal vector to \(\partial \Omega\); \(\partial \Omega\) is piecewise smooth. The technique of the proof and the sufficient conditions for oscillation are similar to that in [the author and \textit{B. T. Cui}, Bull. Inst. Math., Acad. Sin. 28, No. 3, 189-200 (2000; Zbl 0964.35164), cf. the preceding review].
