Generalized discrete Riccati equation and oscillation of half-linear difference equations. (English) Zbl 1038.39002
Summary: Oscillation criteria for the second-order half-linear difference equation $\Delta\bigl( r_k|\Delta y_k|^{\alpha-1} \text{sgn}\,\Delta y_k \bigr)+p_k| y_{k+1}|^{\alpha-1} \text{sgn}\;y_{k+1}=0, \quad\alpha<1,$ to be oscillatory are obtained. These criteria are proved using the Riccati technique.
