Oscillation theorems of nth-order functional differential equations with forcing terms (Q1072694)

This paper is concerned with the functional differential equations of the form (1) \(x^{(n)}(t)+p(t)x(g(t))=f(t),\) (2) \(x^{(n)}(t)+q(t)x(h(t))=r(t),\) and (3) \(x^{(n)}(t)+p(t)x(g(t))+q(t)x(h(t))=f(t).\) Assuming that some strong conditions hold true, the authors prove that every solution x(t) of (1), (2) and (3) is either oscillatory or else it satisfies: \(\lim_{t\to \infty}x^{(i)}(t)=0\), (0\(\leq i\leq n-1)\).
