Iterative criteria for bounds on the growth of positive solutions of a delay differential equation

Abstract

AbstractFollowing Terry (Pacific J. Math. 52 (1974), 269–282), the positive solutions of eauqtion (E): are classified according to types Bj. We denote A neccessary condition is given for a Bk-solution y(t) of (E) to satisfy y2k(t) ≥ m(t) > 0. In the case m(t) = C > 0, we obtain a sufficient condition for all solutions of (E) to be oscillatory.
