“…Motivated by the ideas of Li [28] and Rogovchenko [43], they obtained new oscillation criteria for oscillation by using a generalized Riccati technique. For n=1, oscillation of nonlinear differential equations with a linear damping term of the form ( 10) has been addressed in the monograph of Agarwal et al [2] and papers by Elabbasy et al [11], Grace and Lalli [19], Hao and Lu [22], Kirane and Rogovchenko [25], Li and Agarwal [30], Li et al [32], Rogovchenko [39], Rogovchenko and Tuncay [41,42], Yang [61], to mention a few, whereas oscillation criteria for the general equation…”
