Interval Oscillation Criteria for Second-Order Nonlinear Forced Dynamic Equations with Damping on Time Scales

Abstract EN

By using the Riccati transformation technique and constructing a class of Philos-type functions on time scales, we establish some new interval oscillation criteria for the second-order damped nonlinear dynamic equations with forced term of the form (r(t)xΔ(t))Δ+p(t)xΔσ(t)+q(t)(xσ(t))α=F(t,xσ(t)) on a time scale ? which is unbounded, where α is a quotient of odd positive integer.

Our results in this paper extend and improve some known results.

Some examples are given here to illustrate our main results.
