In This Paper, We Shall Establish Some New Criteria for the Oscillation of Certain Second-Order Noncanonical Dynamic Equations with a Sublinear Neutral Term. This Task is Accomplished by Reducing the Involved Nonlinear Dynamic Equation to a Second-Order Linear Dynamic Inequality. We Also Establish Some New Oscillation Theorems Involving Certain Integral Conditions. Three Examples, Illustrating Our Results, Are Presented. Our Results Generalize Results for Corresponding Differential and Difference Equations.


Oscillation Of Nonlinear Third-Order Difference Equations With Mixed Neutral Terms, Jehad Alzabut, Martin Bohner, Said R. Grace Dec 2021

Oscillation Of Nonlinear Third-Order Difference Equations With Mixed Neutral Terms, Jehad Alzabut, Martin Bohner, Said R. Grace

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper, new oscillation results for nonlinear third-order difference equations with mixed neutral terms are established. Unlike previously used techniques, which often were based on Riccati transformation and involve limsup or liminf conditions for the oscillation, the main results are obtained by means of a new approach, which is based on a comparison technique. Our new results extend, simplify, and improve existing results in the literature. Two examples with specific values of parameters are offered.

In this article, we classify nonoscillatory solutions of a system of three-dimensional time scale systems. We use the method of considering the sign of components of such solutions. Examples are given to highlight some of our results. Moreover, the existence of such solutions is obtained by Knaster's fixed point theorem.

This paper is a continuation of the recent study by Bohner et al [9] on oscillation properties of nonlinear third order functional differential equation under the assumption that the second order differential equation is nonoscillatory. We consider both the delayed and advanced case of the studied equation. The presented results correct and extend earlier ones. Several illustrative examples are included.

In this article, we establish some new criteria for the oscillation of fourth order nonlinear delay differential equations of the form (Equation presented) provided that the second order equation (Equation presented) is nonoscillatiory or oscillatory. This equation with g(t) = t is considered in [8] and some oscillation criteria for this equation via certain energy functions are established. Here, we continue the study on the oscillatory behavior of this equation via some inequalities.

We obtain new sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all solutions of first-order delay dynamic equations on arbitrary time scales, hence combining and extending results for corresponding differential and difference equations. Examples, some of which coincide with well-known results on particular time scales, are provided to illustrate the applicability of our results.


Oscillation And Nonoscillation Of Forced Second Order Dynamic Equations, Christopher C. Tisdell, Martin Bohner Jan 2007

Oscillation And Nonoscillation Of Forced Second Order Dynamic Equations, Christopher C. Tisdell, Martin Bohner

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Oscillation and nonoscillation properties of second order Sturm-Liouville dynamic equations on time scales — for example, second order self-adjoint differential equations and second order Sturm-Liouville difference equations — have attracted much interest. Here we consider a given homogeneous equation and a corresponding equation with forcing term. We give new conditions implying that the latter equation inherits the oscillatory behavior of the homogeneous equation. We also give new conditions that introduce oscillation of the inhomogeneous equation while the homogeneous equation is nonoscillatory. Finally, we explain a gap in a result given in the literature for the continuous and the discrete case. …

Oscillation Criteria For A Certain Class Of Second Order Emden-Fowler Dynamic Equations, Elvan Akin, S. H. Saker, Martin Bohner

By means of Riccati transformation techniques we establish some oscillation criteria for the second order Emden-Fowler dynamic equation on a time scale. Such equations contain the classical Emden-Fowler equation as well as their discrete counterparts. The classical oscillation results of Atkinson (in the superlinear case) and Belohorec (in the sublinear case) are extended in this paper to Emden-Fowler dynamic equations on any time scale.

An Oscillation Theorem For Discrete Eigenvalue Problems, Martin Bohner, Ondřej Došlý, Werner Kratz

In this paper we consider problems that consist of symplectic difference systems depending on an eigenvalue parameter, together with self-adjoint boundary conditions. Such symplectic difference systems contain as important cases linear Hamiltonian difference systems and also Sturm-Liouville difference equations of second and of higher order. The main result of this paper is an oscillation theorem that relates the number of eigenvalues to the number of generalized zeros of solutions.
