Oscillation of Third-Order Nonlinear Damped Delay Differential Equations

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the oscillation of certain third-order nonlinear delay differential equations with damping. We give new characterizations of oscillation of the third-order equation in terms of oscillation of a related, well-studied, second-order linear differential equation without damping. We also establish new oscillation results for the third-order equation by using the integral averaging technique due to Philos. Numerous examples are given throughout.
