Oscillation of solutions to nonlinear first-order delay differential equations

James P. Dix and Julio G. Dix

Vol. 9 (2016), No. 3, 465–482
Abstract

In this article, we present sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all solutions to the delay differential equation

x(t) + i=1nf i(t,x(τi(t))) = 0,t t0.

In particular, we extend known results from linear to nonlinear equations, and improve the bounds of previous criteria.
