Classification and existence of nonoscillatory solutions of higher order nonlinear neutral difference equations (Q2386801)

The authors consider \(n\)th order nonlinear neutral delay difference equations with several delays. They investigate the existence of nonoscillatory solutions. By assuming some restricted conditions on the nonlinear term they classify the solutions when \(n\) is even and when it is odd. By using the L'Hospital theorem, the discrete Arzela-Ascoli's theorem and the Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem the authors give a necessary and sufficent condition for the existence of nonoscillatory solutions. The paper consists of three sections. In section 1, the authors state the problem with the background of the study. In Section 2, the classification of the solutions is given subject to the nature of the order, if \(n\) is odd or even. In the last section the main results about the existense on nonoscillatory solutions are proved. The paper does not contain examples or applications.
