Nonlinear Neutral Delay Differential Equations: Novel Criteria for Oscillation and Asymptotic Behavior

Source abstract

This research deals with the study of the oscillatory behavior of solutions of second-order differential equations containing neutral conditions, both in sublinear and superlinear terms, with a focus on the noncanonical case. The research provides a careful analysis of the monotonic properties of solutions and their derivatives, paving the way for a deeper understanding of this complex behavior. The research is particularly significant as it extends the scope of previous studies by addressing more complex forms of neutral differential equations. Using the linearization technique, strict conditions are developed that exclude the existence of positive solutions, which allows the formulation of innovative criteria for determining the oscillatory behavior of the studied equations. This research highlights the theoretical and applied aspects of this mathematical phenomenon, which contributes to enhancing the scientific understanding of differential equations with neutral conditions. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the results, the research includes two illustrative examples that prove the validity and importance of the proposed methodology. This work represents a qualitative addition to the mathematical literature, as it lays new foundations and opens horizons for future studies in this vital field.
