Oscillation of higher-order linear difference equations (Q1600418)

This paper is concerned with the oscillatory and asymptotic behavior of the solutions of the linear higher-order difference equation of the form \[ \Delta ^{m}x(n)+p(n)x(n-k)=0. \] Two interesting sufficient conditions (one involving the \(\limsup\) and the other the \(\liminf\)) are established. Two examples illustrating the significance of the results by comparing to known results are given.
