Abstract

A class of third-order nonlinear neutral differential equation

(r(t)(y″(t))α)′ + q(t) ƒ(x(σ(t))) = 0

is investigated in this paper, where y(t) = x(t) + p(t)x(τ(t)), and α > 0 is any quotient of odd integers. Using a new method, we obtain some sufficient conditions for the oscillation of the above equation, and some known oscillation criteria be extended. An example is inserted to illustrate the result.
