Oscillation and Asymptotic Properties of Second Order Half-Linear Differential Equations with Mixed Deviating Arguments

In this paper, we study oscillation and asymptotic properties for half-linear second order differential equations with mixed argument of the form r(t)(y′(t))α′=p(t)yα(τ(t)). Such differential equation may possesses two types of nonoscillatory solutions either from the class N0 (positive decreasing solutions) or N2 (positive increasing solutions). We establish new criteria for N0=∅ and N2=∅ provided that delayed and advanced parts of deviating argument are large enough. As a consequence of these results, we provide new oscillatory criteria. The presented results essentially improve existing ones even for a linear case of considered equations.
