Abstract

The study of half-linear differential equations has become an important area of research due to the fact that such equations occur in a variety of real-world problems such as in the study of p-Laplace equations, non-Newtonian fluid theory, and the turbulent flow of a polytrophic gas in a porous medium. On the basis of these background details, we study oscillatory behavior of a class of second-order neutral functional dynamic equations on a time scale. New criteria improve and complement related results reported in the literature. Some examples are included to illustrate the results obtained. In particular, an example regarding the second-order neutral differential equation is also provided to show that these theorems improve those in the continuous case.
