Abstract: This paper is concerned with the oscillatory behavior of a class of third-order nonlinear variable delay neutral functional dynamic equations on time scale. By using the generalized Riccati transformation and inequality technique, we establish some new oscillation criteria for the equations. Our results extend and improve some known results, but also unify the oscillation of third-order nonlinear variable delay functional differential equations and functional difference equations with a nonlinear neutral term. Some examples are given to illustrate the importance of our results. 

Key words: oscillation, time scales, delay dynamic equations, Riccati transformation, nonlinear neutral term
