An Improved Oscillation Result for a Class of Higher Order Non-canonical Delay Differential Equations.

Abstract

[EN]In this work, by obtaining a new condition that excludes a class of positive solutions of a type of higher order delay differential equations, we were able to construct an oscillation criterion that simplifies, improves and complements the previous results in the literature. The adopted approach extends those commonly used in the study of second-order equations. The simplification lies in obtaining an oscillation criterion with two conditions, unlike the previous results, which required at least three conditions. In addition, we illustrate the improvement with the new criterion, applying it to some examples and comparing the results obtained with previous results in the literature.
