Asymptotics and oscillation for certain higher-order nonlinear dynamic equations on time scales (Q6545229)

This article explores oscillations for dynamic equations of the form\N\[\Nx^{[n]}(t)+p(t)\Phi_{\alpha_{n-1}}\left[ \left( x^{[n-2]}(t) \right)^{\Delta\sigma}\right] + q(t) \Phi_{\gamma}\big(x(g(t)\big)=0, \quad n\geq 2,\N\]\Nwhere \(\Phi_{\beta}(u)=|u|^{\beta}\text{sgn}(u)\) and for some functions \(r_j\),\N\[\Nx^{[0]}=x, \qquad x^{[j]}(t)=r_j(t)\Phi_{\alpha_j}\left[ \left( x^{[j-1]}(t) \right)^{\Delta} \right].\N\]\NPrevious work in [\textit{T. S. Hassan} and \textit{D. O'Regan}, Rocky Mt. J. Math. 50, No. 2, 599--617 (2020; Zbl 1445.34127)] gave a \(\limsup\) condition under which solutions are oscillatory. The authors investigate what happens when that \(\limsup\) condition fails. The main result successfully addresses the question by providing conditions involving the coefficient functions to obtain oscillation of all solutions when \(n\) is even and either oscillation or convergence to \(0\) for odd \(n\). The article concludes with specific examples in differential equations and quantum calculus.
