Oscillations of delay difference equations in a critical state (Q5915353)

The authors obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the oscillation of all solutions of the equation \[ \Delta x_n+\sum^m_{i=1} p_i (n) x_{n-k_i}=0 \] where \(\lim\inf_{n\to \infty}p_i(n) =p_i\geq 0\), if the corresponding limiting equation \[ \Delta x_n+ \sum^n_{i=1} p_ix_{n-k_i}=0 \] admits a nonoscillatory solution.
