Oscillation Behavior of Third-Order Neutral Emden-Fowler Delay Dynamic Equations on Time Scales
Abstract
We will establish some oscillation criteria for the third-order Emden-Fowler neutral delay dynamic equations (r(t)(x(t)−a(t)x(τ(t)))ΔΔ)Δ+p(t)xγ(δ(t))=0 on a time scale 𝕋, where γ>0 is a quotient of odd positive integers with r, a, and p real-valued positive rd-continuous functions defined on 𝕋. To the best of our knowledge nothing is known regarding the qualitative behavior of these equations on time scales, so this paper initiates the study. Some examples are considered to illustrate the main results.
