Abstract: We study the oscillatory behavior of a certain class of second-order nonlinear variable delay generalized Emden-Fowler functional differential equations with a nonlinear neutral term of the form
{a(t)|[x(t)+p(t)xα(τ(t))]'|β-1[x(t)+p(t)xα(τ(t))]'}'+q(t)f(|x(δ(t))|γ-1x(δ(t)))=0(tt0). By using the generalized Riccati transformation and Bernoulli's inequality and Yang's inequality, we establish some new oscillation criteria for the equations under the cases when
t0+∞ a-1/β(t)dt=+∞ and ∫t0+∞ a-1/β(t)dt < +∞,
the results obtained extend and improve some related results reported in the literature. Examples are provided to illustrate assumptions in our theorems are less restrictive.
