New Monotonic Properties of Positive Solutions of Higher-Order Delay Differential Equations and Their Applications

Abstract

In this work, new criteria were established for testing the oscillatory behavior of solutions of a class of even-order delay differential equations. We follow an approach that depends on obtaining new monotonic properties for the decreasing positive solutions of the studied equation. Moreover, we use these properties to provide new oscillation criteria of an iterative nature. We provide an example to support the significance of the results and compare them with the related previous work.
