Kamenev-Type Criteria for Testing the Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions of Third-Order Quasi-Linear Neutral Differential Equations
Abstract
This paper aims to study the asymptotic properties of nonoscillatory solutions (eventually positive or negative) of a class of third-order canonical neutral differential equations. We use Riccati substitution to reduce the order of the considered equation, and then we use the Philos function class to obtain new criteria of the Kamenev type, which guarantees that all nonoscillatory solutions converge to zero. This approach is characterized by the possibility of applying its conditions to a wider area of equations. This is not the only aspect that distinguishes our results; we also use improved relationships between the solution and the corresponding function, which in turn is reflected in a direct improvement of the criteria. The findings in this article extend and generalize previous findings in the literature and also improve some of these findings.
