Oscillatory and asymptotic behavior of a first-order neutral equation of discrete type with variable several delay under \(\Delta\) sign (Q1728986)

Summary: We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions so that every solution of neutral delay difference equation \(\Delta (y_n - \sum_{j=1}^k p_n^j y_{n-m_j})+q_n G(y_{\sigma(n)}) = f_n\) oscillates or tends to zero as \(n \longrightarrow \infty\), where \(\{q_n \}\) and \(\{f_n \}\) are real sequences and \(G \in C(\mathbb R, \mathbb R)\), \(x G(x) > 0\), and \(m_1\), \(m_2, \dots, m_k\) are positive integers. Here \(\Delta\) is the forward difference operator given by \(\Delta x_n=x_{n+1} - x_n\), and \(\{\sigma_n \}\) is an increasing unbounded sequences with \(\sigma_n \leq n\). This paper complements, improves, and generalizes some past and recent results.
