Oscillatory and nonoscillatory properties of first order differential equations with piecewise constant deviating arguments (Q2640038)

The paper deals with oscillatory properties of solutions of the differential equations (i) \(y'(t)+p(t)f(y([t]))=0\), (ii) \(y'(t)+p(t)f(y([t])=h(t)\), (iii) \(y'(t)+\sum^{m}_{i=0}p_ i(t)y([t- i])=0\), and (iv) logistic equations of the type \(y'(t)+c(1- y(t))y([t])=0\). Here p, h, \(p_ i\) and c are real-valued continuous functions on \([0,\infty)\), and f: \({\mathbb{R}}\to {\mathbb{R}}\) is continuous such that \(yf(y)>0\) for \(y\neq 0\). The authors present several sufficient conditions for (non)oscillation of all solutions and all bounded solutions of the equations considered.
