Necessary conditions for the solutions of second order nonlinear neutral delay difference equations to be oscillatory or tend to zero (Q925452)

Necessary conditions for every solution of the neutral delay difference equation \[ \Delta(r_n\Delta(y_n- p_n y_{n-m}))+ q_n G(y_{n-k})= f_n \] to oscillate or to tend to zero as \(n\to\infty\) are found. Here \(\Delta\) is the forward difference operator \(\Delta x_n= x_{n+1}- x_n\), and \(p_n\), \(q_n\), \(r_n\) are sequences of real numbers with \(q_n\geq 0\), \(r_n> 0\).
