Oscillation of certain fourth-order functional differential equations

Abstract

Some new criteria for the oscillation of fourth-order nonlinear functional differential equations of the form $$\frac{d^2}{dt^2} \left(a(t) \left(\frac{d^2x(t)}{dt^2}\right)^{α} \right) + q(t)f(x[g(t)])=0, \quad α>0,$$ are established.
