Oscillation Criteria for Second-Order Delay, Difference, and Functional Equations

Consider the second-order linear delay differential equation x′′(t)+p(t)x(τ(t))=0, t≥t0, where p∈C([t0,∞),ℝ+), τ∈C([t0,∞),ℝ), τ(t) is nondecreasing, τ(t)≤t for t≥t0 and limt→∞τ(t)=∞, the (discrete analogue) second-order difference equation Δ2x(n)+p(n)x(τ(n))=0, where Δx(n)=x(n+1)−x(n), Δ2=Δ∘Δ, p:ℕ→ℝ...
