Oscillation Criteria for a Class of Functional Parabolic Equations (Q4254571)

The authors obtain sufficient conditions for oscillation of solutions of functional parabolic equations \[ \begin{multlined} {\partial\over\partial t}\Biggl(U(x, t)+ \sum^l_{i= 1} h_i(t)U(x,\rho_i(t))\Biggr)- a(t)\Delta U(x,t)- \sum^k_{i=1} b_i(t)\Delta U(x, \tau_i(t))-\\ c(x,t,(z_i[U](x,t))^M_{i= 1})= f(x,t),\quad (x,t)\in G\times (0,\infty),\end{multlined} \] where \[ z_i[U](x, t)= \begin{cases} U(x,\sigma_i(t)),\quad i= 1,\dots,m,\\ \max_{s\in\mathbb{B}_i(t)} U(x,s),\quad i= m+1,\dots, m_1,\\ \sum^N_{j=1} \int_G K_{ij}(x, t,y) \omega_{ij}(U(y, \sigma_{ij}(t))) dy,\quad i=m_1+1,\dots, M.\end{cases} \] The authors reduce the multidimensional problem to one-dimensional via averaging technique and study the respective ordinary differential-functional inequalities.
