Oscillation criteria for a forced mixed type Emden-Fowler equation with impulses (Q732487)

The authors study the oscillation of the following forced mixed type Emden-Fowler equation with impulses \[ \begin{cases} (r(t)x'(t))'+p(t)x(t)+\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^np_i(t)|x(t)|^{\alpha_i-1}x(t)=e(t), \;t\neq\tau_k,\\ x(\tau_k^{+})=a_kx(\tau_k), \;x'(\tau_k^{+})=b_kx'(\tau_k). \end{cases}\tag{*} \] By employing the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality, the authors obtain some oscillation criteria of for (*). When the impulses are dropped, the results of this paper extend some known results.
