Oscillation Criteria for Some New Generalized Emden-Fowler Dynamic Equations on Time Scales by Haidong Liu, Puchen Liu

“…By means of novel analytical techniques, we have established several new oscillation criteria for the generalized Emden-Fowler dynamic equation on a time scale 𝕋, that is, (r(t)|ZΔ(t)|α-1ZΔ(t))Δ+f(t,x(δ(t)))=0, with respect to the case ∫t0∞r-1/α(s)Δs=∞ and the case ∫t0∞r-1/α(s)Δs<∞, where Z(t)=x(t)+p(t)x(τ(t)),  α is a constant, |f(t,u)|⩾q(t)|uβ|, β is a constant satisfying α⩾β>0, and r, p, and q are real valued right-dense continuous nonnegative functions defined on 𝕋. …”
