Third-Order Neutral Differential Equations with Damping and Distributed Delay: New Asymptotic Properties of Solutions

Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in studying the oscillation of differential equations with a damping term and distributed delay. We establish new criteria that guarantee the oscillation of the third-order differential equation in terms of oscillation of the second-order linear differential equation without a damping term. By using the Riccati transformation technique and the principle of comparison, we obtain new results on the oscillation for the studied equation. The results show significant improvement and extend the previous works. Symmetry contributes to determining the correct methods for solving neutral differential equations. Some examples are provided to show the significance of our results.
