Oscillations of higher order differential equations of neutral type. (English) Zbl 1045.34043
Summary: Here, sufficient conditions are obtained for the oscillation of solutions of a class of $$n$$th-order linear neutral delay-differential equations. Some of these results are used to study the oscillatory behaviour of solutions of a class of boundary value problems for neutral hyperbolic partial differential equations.
