Abstract:

We study the oscillatory behavior of a certain class of second-order variable delay nonlinear functional differential equations with a nonlinear neutral term in this article. By using the generalized Riccati transformation and some necessary analytic techniques, we establish two new oscillation criteria for the oscillation of the equations. In particular, the results obtained improve those presented in the literature.
