Interval oscillation criteria for second-order nonlinear forced dynamic equations with damping on time scales (Q369889)

Summary: By using the Riccati transformation technique and constructing a class of Philos-type functions on time scales, we establish some new interval oscillation criteria for the second-order damped nonlinear dynamic equations with forced term of the form \[ (r(t)x^\Delta(t))^\Delta + p(t)x^{\Delta \sigma}(t) + q(t)(x^\sigma(t))^\alpha = F(t, x^\sigma(t)) \] on a time scale \(\mathbb T\) which is unbounded, where \(\alpha\) is a quotient of odd positive integers. Our results extend and improve some known results. Some examples are given to illustrate our main results.
