Abstract:

The oscillation for a class of second order nonlinear variable delay dynamic equation on time scales with nonlinear neutral term and damping term was discussed in this article. By using the generalized Riccati technique, integral averaging technique and the time scales theory, some new sufficient conditions for oscillation of the equation are proposed. These results generalize and extend many known results for second order dynamic equations. Some examples are given to illustrate the main results of this article.
