Consider the first-order delay difference equation with a constant argument Δxn+pnxn-k=0,  n=0,1,2,…, and the delay difference equation with a variable argument Δxn+pnxτn=0,  n=0,1,2,…, where p(n) is a sequence of nonnegative real numbers, k is a positive integer, Δx(n)=x(n+1)-x(n), and τ(n) is a sequence of integers such that τ(n)≤n-1 for all n≥0 and limn→∞τ(n)=∞. A survey on the oscillation of all solutions to these equations is presented. Examples illustrating the results are given.

In this paper, some new results are obtained for the even order neutral delay difference equationΔanΔm-1xn+pnxn-kα+qnxn-lβ=0, wherem≥2is an even integer, which ensure that all solutions of the studied equation are oscillatory. Our results extend, include, and correct some of the existing results. Examples are provided to illustrate the importance of the main results.

Suppose that {pn} is a nonnegative sequence of real numbers and let k be a positive integer. We prove that limn→∞inf [1k∑i=n−kn−1pi]>kk(k+1)k+1 is a sufficient condition for the oscillation of all solutions of the delay difference equation An+1−An+pnAn−k=0,   n=0,1,2,…. This result is sharp in that the lower bound kk/(k+1)k+1 in the condition cannot be improved. Some results on difference inequalities and the existence of positive solutions are also presented.

We find necessary conditions for every solution of the neutral delay difference equationΔ(rnΔ(yn−pnyn−m))+qnG(yn−k)=fnto oscillate or to tend to zero asn→∞, whereΔis the forward difference operatorΔxn=xn+1−xn, andpn, qn, rnare sequences of real numbers withqn≥0, rn>0. Different ranges of{pn}, includingpn=±1, are considered in this paper. We do not assume thatGis Lipschitzian nor nondecreasing withxG(x)>0forx≠0. In this way, the results of this paper improve, generalize, and extend recent results. Also, we provide illustrative examples for our results.

Consider the neutral difference equation \[\Delta(x_n- cx_{n-m})+p_nx_{n-k}=0, n\ge N\qquad (*) \] where $c$ and $p_n$ are real numbers, $k$ and $N$ are nonnegative integers, and $m$ is positive integer. We show that if \[\sum_{n=N}^\infty |p_n|<\infty \qquad (**) \] then Eq.(*) has a positive solution when $c \neq 1$. However, an interesting example is also given which shows that (**) does not imply that (*) has a positive solution when $c =1$.

Abstract We consider explicit sufficient conditions for all solutions of a first-order linear difference equation with several variable delays and non-negative coefficients to be oscillatory. The conditions have the form of inequalities bounding below the upper and lower limits of the sums of coefficients over a subset of the discrete semiaxis. Our main results are oscillation tests based on a new principle for composing the estimated sums of coefficients. We also give some results in the form of examples, including a counterexample to a wrong oscillation test cited in several recent papers.

Abstract Consider the first-order linear delay differential equation xʹ(t) + p(t)x(τ(t)) = 0, t≥ t<sub>0</sub>, (1) where p, τ ∈ C ([t<sub>0</sub>,∞, ℝ<sup>+</sup>, τ(t) is nondecreasing, τ(t) < t for t ≥ t<sup>0</sup> and lim<sub>t→∞</sub> τ(t) = ∞, and the (discrete analogue) difference equation Δx(n) + p(n)x(τ(n)) = 0, n= 0, 1, 2,…, (1)ʹ where Δx(n) = x(n + 1) − x(n), p(n) is a sequence of nonnegative real numbers and τ(n) is a nondecreasing sequence of integers such that τ(n) ≤ n − 1 for all n ≥ 0 and lim<sub>n→∞</sub> τ(n) = ∞. Optimal conditions for the oscillation of all solutions to the above equations are presented.

Abstract In this article we obtain sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all solutions of the higher-order delay difference equation Δ m ( y n − ∑ j = 1 k p n j y n − m j ) + v n G ( y σ ( n ) ) − u n H ( y α ( n ) ) = f n , $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \Delta^{m}\big(y_n-\sum_{j=1}^k p_n^j y_{n-m_j}\big) + v_nG(y_{\sigma(n)})-u_nH(y_{\alpha(n)})=f_n\,, \end{array}$$ where m is a positive integer and Δ xn = x n+1 − xn . Also we obtain necessary conditions for a particular case of the above equation. We illustrate our results with examples for which it seems no result in the literature can be applied.
