Oscillation of second-order nonlinear delay dynamic equations on time scales (Q5895510)

Summary: We use the generalized Riccati transformation and the inequality technique to establish some new oscillation criteria for the second-order nonlinear delay dynamic equation \[ (p(t)(x^\Delta(t))^\gamma)^\Delta + q(t)f(x(\tau(t))) = 0 \] on a time scale \(\mathbb T\), where \(\gamma\) is the quotient of odd positive integers and \(p(t)\) and \(q(t)\) are positive right-dense continuous (rd-continuous) functions on \(\mathbb T\). Our results unify the oscillation of a second-order nonlinear delay differential equation and a second-order nonlinear delay difference equation. Finally, we give some examples to illustrate our main results.
