New oscillation criteria are established for second-order mixed-nonlinear delay dynamic equations
on time scales by utilizing an interval averaging technique No restriction is imposed on thecoefficient functions and the forcing term to be nonnegative
We assume that the time scaleT is unbounded above, that is, sup T ∞ and definethe time scale interval t0, ∞Tby t0, ∞T: t0, ∞ ∩ T It is also assumed that the reader is
already familiar with the time scale calculus A comprehensive treatment of calculus on timescales can be found in 1 3
Trang 2By a solution of1.1 we mean a nontrivial real valued function x : T → R such that
x ∈ C1
rd T, ∞T and rxΔ ∈ C1
rd T, ∞T for all T ∈ T with T ≥ t0, and that x satisfies 1.1
A function x is called an oscillatory solution of 1.1 if x is neither eventually positive nor
eventually negative, otherwise it is nonoscillatory Equation1.1 is said to be oscillatory if
and only if every solution x of 1.1 is oscillatory
Notice that when T R, 1.1 is reduced to the second-order nonlinear delaydifferential equation
Another useful time scale isT qN: {qm : m ∈ N and q > 1 is a real number}, which leads
to the quantum calculus In this case,1.1 is the q-difference equation
as we know when T R, an interval oscillation criterion for forced second-order lineardifferential equations was first established by El-Sayed 4 5
nicely how the interval criteria method can be applied to delay differential equations of theform
xt pt|xτt| α−1 x τt et, α ≥ 1, 1.6
where the potential p and the forcing term e may oscillate Some of these interval oscillation
criteria were recently extended to second-order dynamic equations in 6 10
on oscillatory and nonoscillatory behavior of the second order nonlinear dynamic equations
on time scales can be found in 11–23
Therefore, motivated by Sun and Meng’s paper 24
introduced in 17
criteria for second-order nonlinear delay dynamic equations of the form1.1 Examples areconsidered to illustrate the results
Trang 32 Main Results
We need the following lemmas in proving our results The first two lemmas can be found in
25, Lemma 1
Lemma 2.1 Let {α i }, i 1, 2, , n be the n-tuple satisfying α1 > α2 > · · · > α m > 1 > α m1 > · · · >
α n > 0 Then, there exists an n-tuple {η1, η2, , η n } satisfying
Lemma 2.2 Let {α i }, i 1, 2, , n be the n-tuple satisfying α1 > α2 > · · · > α m > 1 > α m1 > · · · >
α n > 0 Then there exists an n-tuple {η1, η2, , η n } satisfying
The next two lemmas are quite elementary via differential calculus; see 23,25
Lemma 2.3 Let u, A, and B be nonnegative real numbers Then
The last important lemma that we need is a special case of the one given in 6
completeness, we provide a proof
Lemma 2.5 Let τ : T → T be a nondecreasing right-dense continuous function with τt ≤ t, and
a, b ∈ T with a < b If x ∈ C1rd Tis a positive function such that rtxΔt is nonincreasing
on Twith r > 0 nondecreasing, then
Trang 4which completes the proof.
In what follows we say that a function Ht, s : T2 → R belongs to HTif and only if
H is right-dense continuous function on {t, s ∈ T2: t ≥ s ≥ t0} having continuous Δ-partialderivatives on{t, s ∈ T2: t > s ≥ t0}, with Ht, t 0 for all t and Ht, s / 0 for all t / s Note
that in caseHR, theΔ-partial derivatives become the usual partial derivatives of Ht, s The
partial derivatives for the casesHZandHNwill be explicitly given later
Denoting theΔ-partial derivatives HΔt t, s and HΔs t, s of Ht, s with respect to t and s by H1t, s and H2t, s, respectively, the theorems below extend the results obtained
as in 5 2t, s instead of Ut, s for simplicity.
Theorem 2.6 Suppose that for any given (arbitrarily large) T ∈ T there exist subintervals a1, b1 T
and a2, b2 Tof T, ∞T, where a1< b1and a2< b2such that
Trang 5hold Let {η1, η2, η n } be an n-tuple satisfying 2.1 of Lemma 2.1 If there exist a function H ∈ HT
and numbers c ν ∈ a ν , b νTsuch that
Proof Suppose on the contrary that x is a nonoscillatory solution of 1.1 First assume that
xt and xτ j t j 0, 1, 2 , n are positive for all t ≥ t1for some t1 ∈ t0, ∞T Choose a1
sufficiently large so that τj τ j a1 ≥ t1 Let t ∈ a1, b1 T
Trang 6Substituting2.21 into 1.1 yields
Trang 7From2.29 and taking into account 2.27, we get
Multiplying both sides of2.32 by H2σt, a1 and integrating both sides of the resulting
inequality from a1to c1, a1< c1< b1yield
Trang 9Similarly, by following the above calculation step by step, that is, multiplying bothsides of2.32 this time by H2b1, σs after taking into account that
This contradiction completes the proof when xt is eventually positive The proof when xt
is eventually negative is analogous by repeating the above arguments on the interval a2, b2 T

then1.1 with et ≡ 0 is oscillatory.
Proof We will just highlight the proof since it is the same as the proof ofTheorem 2.6 We
should remark here that taking et ≡ 0 and η0 0 in proof ofTheorem 2.6, we arrive at

It is obvious thatTheorem 2.6is not applicable if the functions p i t are nonpositive for i m 1, m 2, , n In this case the theorem below is valid.

assume that xt and xτ i t i 0, 1, 2, , n are eventually positive on a1, b1 Twhen a1issufficiently large If xt is eventually negative, one may repeat the same proof step by step

The rest of the proof is the same as that ofTheorem 2.6and hence it is omitted
