“…In recent years, many studies have been devoted to the oscillatory behavior of solutions to different classes of equations with nonnegative neutral coefficients; see, e.g., [2,4,5,12,13,15,20] and the references cited therein. However, for equations with nonpositive neutral coefficients, there are relatively fewer results in the literature; see [3,4,6,11,14,[16][17][18].…”
