Review text

The paper is devoted to the study of oscillatory and asymptotic behaviour of solutions of higher order nonlinear difference equations of the form \[ \Delta \bigl( r_n (\Delta^{d - 1} x_n)^\delta \bigr) + F(n, x_n) = 0, \] where \(n \in N(n_0) = \{n_0, n_0 + 1, n_0 + 2, \dots,\}\) \((n_0\) is a fixed nonnegative integer), \(d\) is an integer and \(d > 1\), \(\Delta\) is the forward difference operator defined by \(\Delta x_n = x_{n + 1} - x_n\), \(\delta\) is a quotient of odd positive integers, \(x : N(n_0) \to \mathbb{R}\), \(r : N(n_0) \to (0, + \infty)\), \(F : N(n_0) \times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\), and for any \(n \in N (n_0)\), \(F\) is continuous as a function of \(x \in \mathbb{R}\). The purpose of this paper is to give some sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of nonoscillatory solutions of the equation in the cases \(xF(n,x) > 0\) and \(xF(n,x) < 0\) for \(x \neq 0\) and \(n \in N(n_0)\).
