Oscillation criteria for certain $$n$$th order differential equations with deviating arguments. (English) Zbl 0997.34060
The authors establish new oscillation criteria for $$n$$th-order nonlinear differential equations with deviating argument $(|x^{(n-1)}(t)|^{\alpha -1}x^{(n-1)}(t))^{'}+F(t,x[g(t)])=0,$ where $$n$$ is an even number. They investigate some generalizations of this equation, including neutral differential equations. Oscillation results obtained here extend and improve some known results.
