Properties $A$ and $B$ of $n$th-order linear differential equations with deviating argument.
(English)
[J] Georgian Math. J. 6, No.6, 553-566 (1999). ISSN 1072-947X; ISSN 1572-9176/e

The authors investigate oscillatory properties of solutions to the $n$th-order linear differential equation $$u^{(n)}(t)+p(t)u(\tau (t))=0,\tag 1$$ where $p:\bbfR_{+}\to\bbfR$ is a locally integrable function of constant sign and $\tau :\bbfR_{+}\to\bbfR$ is a continuous nondecreasing function such that $\tau (t)\to\infty$ as $t\to\infty$. Equation (1) is studied as an ordinary differential equation ($\tau (t)\equiv t$) as well as a functional-differential equation in both the delayed case ($\tau (t)\le t$) and the advanced case ($\tau (t)\ge t$). \par In a series of statements some sufficient conditions for equation (1) to have property $A$ or property $B$ are established. Moreover, comparisons with known results are given.
