An oscillation theorem for a second order nonlinear difference equation.
(English)
[J] Util. Math. 43, 155-159 (1993). ISSN 0315-3681

A necessary condition for the fact that every solution of the difference equation $\Delta (p\sb{n-1}\sp{-1} \Delta x\sb{n-1})+q\sb n f(x\sb n)=0$, $n=1,2,3,\dots$, over $\bbfR$ is oscillatory, is given. Here $p\sb n>0$ for all $n$, $f$ is nondecreasing with $\text {sign} f(x)=\text {sign} x$ and a sequence of real numbers is called oscillatory if it is neither eventually positive nor eventually negative.
