Review text

Consider the neutral delay differential equation \[ (1)\quad (d/dt)(x(t)+Px(t-\tau))+Q(t)x(t-\sigma)=0,\quad t\geq t_ 0 \] where (2) \(P\in {\mathbb{R}}\), \(\tau\in (0,\infty)\), \(\sigma\in [0,\infty)\) and \(Q\in C([t_ 0,\infty),{\mathbb{R}}^+)\). The main results are: Theorem 1. Assume that (2) holds with \(P=-1\), and that \(\int^{\infty}_{t_ 0}sQ(s)(\int^{\infty}_{s}Q(t)dt)ds=\infty.\) Then every solution of Eq. (1) oscillates. Theorem 2. Assume that (2) holds with \(-1<P<0\), and that \(\int^{\infty}_{t_ 0}Q(s)ds<\infty\). Then Eq. (1) has a nonoscillatory solution. Theorem 3. Assume that (2) holds with \(P<-1\) and that \(\int^{\infty}_{t_ 0}Q(s)ds<\infty\). Then Eq. (1) has a nonoscillatory solution.
