Oscillation Conditions for a Type of Second Order Neutral Differential Equations with Impulses

Abstract

Abstract:In this paper, we study a certain type of second order linear neutral differential equation with constant impulsive jumps. This type of equation is known always to possess an unbounded non-oscillatory solution. The method and technique of impulse imposition used here is due to studies by Bainov and Simeonov [1]. By assuming, amongst other conditions, that the constant coefficient of the equation in question lies between zero and one and the delay function is non-decreasing, it is shown that all bounded solutions of the said neutral impulsive equation are oscillatory.
