On the oscillation of higher-order half-linear delay differential equations. (English) Zbl 1223.34095
Summary: We study the oscillatory behavior of the following higher-order half-linear delay differential equation $$(r(t)(x^{(n-1)}(t))^\alpha)'+q(t)x^\beta(\tau(t))=0,\quad t\ge t_0,$$ where we assume $\int^\infty_{t_0}\frac{1}{r^{1/\alpha}(t)}\,dt<\infty$. An example is given to illustrate the main results.
