Oscillation of solutions of parabolic differential equations of neutral type (Q2569908)

The paper deals with the oscillation of solutions of the following parabolic equation of neutral type \[ \frac{\partial}{\partial t}[u-\lambda(t)u(x,t-\tau)] = a_0(t) \Delta u + a_1(t) \Delta u(x,t-\rho) - p(x,t)u \] \[ - \int_a^b q(x,t,\xi)u[x,g(t,\xi)] \,d \mu(\xi), \qquad (x,t) \in \Omega \times \mathbb R_+, \] subject to a boundary condition of Dirichlet or Robin type. The authors obtain sufficient conditions for the oscillation of the solutions under certain reasonable assumptions.
