Oscillation criteria for systems of parabolic equations with functional arguments (Q1768070)

The authors obtain sufficient conditions for oscillation of the solutions of parabolic differential equations with functional arguments of the form \[ \frac{\partial}{\partial t}u_i(x,t) = a_i(t)\Delta u_i(x,t) + \sum_{k=1}^m \sum_{j=1}^s a_{ikj}(t)\Delta u_k(x,\rho_j(t)) \] \[ - \sum_{k=1}^m \sum_{h=1}^l q_{ikh}(x,t)u_k(x,\sigma_h(t)), \quad (x,t) \in \Omega \times \mathbb R_+, \quad i=1,\dots,m, \] subject to a boundary condition of Dirichlet or Neumann type.
