Oscillation criteria for second-order delay dynamic equations on time scales (Q2472246)

The paper deals with the following second order nonlinear delay dynamic equation on a time scale \[ (p(t)(x^{\triangle}(t))^{\gamma})^{\triangle}+q(t)f(x(\tau(t))) = 0,\quad t\in T \] where \(T\) is a time scale. For oscillation analysis, two cases are considered \[ a)\quad \int_a^{\infty}\left({{1}\over{p(t)}}\right)^{1/\gamma}\Delta t= \infty ,\qquad b)\quad \int_a^{\infty}\left({{1}\over{p(t)}}\right)^{1/\gamma}\Delta t< \infty. \] The main criterion of oscillation follows from the divergence of the integral \[ \limsup_{t\rightarrow\infty}\int_a^t \left(Lk^{\gamma}q(s)\delta(s) \left({{\tau(s)}\over{\sigma(s)}}\right) ^{\gamma} -{{p(s)(\delta^{\triangle}(s))_+ ^{\gamma+1}} \over{(\gamma+1)^{\gamma+1}(\delta(s))^{\gamma}}}\right)\Delta s=\infty \] for some \(p\in C^1_{rd}([a,\infty),\mathbb R)\), \(p>0\), \(k\in (0,1)\) and some \(\delta(s)>0\), \(\delta_+=\max\{0,\delta\}\).
