Oscillation of higher-order difference equations (Q1972451)

The authors establish sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all solutions to the even order difference equations of the form \[ \Delta^mx_n+ p_n\Delta^{m-1} x_n+F(n,x_{n-g}, \Delta x_{n-h})=0 \] by comparing it with certain different equations of lower order whose oscillatory character is known.

J. 49(124), 149-161 (1999)].
