On the oscillation of even-order half-linear functional difference equations with damping term (Q2247884)

Summary: We investigate the oscillatory behavior of solutions of the \(m\)th order half-linear functional difference equations with damping term of the form \(\Delta(p_nQ(\Delta^{m-1}y_n))+q_nQ(\Delta^ {m-1}y_n)+r_nQ(y_{\tau_n})=0\), \(n\geq n_0\) where \(m\) is even and \(Q(s)=|s|^{\alpha|-2}s\), \(\alpha>1\) is a fixed real number. Our main results are obtained via employing the generalized Riccati transformation. We provide two examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.
