Oscillatory and asymptotic behaviour of fourth order nonlinear neutral delay difference equations (Q5936407)

The author considers the following nonlinear neutral delay difference equation \[ \Delta^2[r_n\Delta(y_n+p_ny_{n-k})]+f(n, y_{\sigma(n)})=0, \] where \(r_n>0, p_n>0\) and \(\{\sigma(n)\}\) is an increasing sequence of integers. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of non-oscillatory solutions with a special asymptotic behaviour; also, sufficient conditions are obtained for all solutions to be oscillatory.
