The aim of this paper is to investigate the oscillatory behavior of solutions of general perturbed second-order nonlinear difference equations of the form \[ \Delta(a_n \Psi(n, y_{n+ 1}, \Delta y_n) \Delta y_n)+ Q(n, y_{n+ 1})= P(n, y_{n+ 1}, \Delta y_n),\quad n\in \mathbb{N}, \] where \(\mathbb{N}= \{0, 1, 2,\dots\}\), \(\Delta\) is the forward difference operator defined by \(\Delta y_n= y_{n+ 1}- y_n\), \(\{a_n\}\) is a real sequence with \(a_n> 0\) for all \(n\in \mathbb{N}\), \(\Psi: \mathbb{N}\times \mathbb{R}^2\to \mathbb{R}\), \(Q: \mathbb{N}\times \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}\), and \(P: \mathbb{N}\times \mathbb{R}^2\to \mathbb{R}\) are continuous.For the entire collection see [Zbl 0838.00012].
