Atkinson's super-linear oscillation theorem for matrix dynamic equations on a time scale (Q703895)

The paper deals with super-linear matrix dynamic equations \[ X^{\Delta^2} + [X^m Q X^{*m}]^\sigma X^\sigma = 0. \] The symbols \(\Delta\) and \(\sigma\) refer to the differentiation and time shift operators from time scales calculus. So, the equation covers the continuous case, the discrete case and extends to arbitrary closed subsets of the reals as time scales. The author derives various criteria for prepared and (non-)oscillatory solutions of the above equation within this general framework.
