Abstract

We present new oscillation criteria for a class of third order nonlinear differential equations with a nonpositive neutral term. The results obtained improve and complement some related results known in the literature. Two illustrative examples are provided

Keywords

Oscillation, third order, neutral differential equation, nonpositive neutral term.
