Oscillation result for half-linear delay di erence equations of second-order

Abstract

In this paper, we obtain the new single-condition criteria for the oscillation of secondorder half-linear delay difference equation. Even in the linear case, the sharp result is new and, to our knowledge, improves all previous results. Furthermore, our method has the advantage of being simple to prove, as it relies just on sequentially improved monotonicities of a positive solution. Examples are provided to illustrate our results.
