Abstract

This paper examines the oscillation and asymptotic properties of a class of third-order neutral differential equations with distributed deviating arguments by employing comparison principles. A series of oscillation criteria are derived, which essentially extend and improve the existing related results and generalize to more general third-order differential equations by removing several constraints. Some examples are also provided to demonstrate our main results.
