“…In reviewing the literature, it becomes apparent that results on the oscillatory and asymptotic behavior of third order neutral differential equations are relatively scarce and most such results are concerned with the cases where 0 ≤ p(t) ≤ p 0 < 1 and −1 ≤ p(t) < 0. We refer the reader to the papers [2,6,[13][14][15][16] and the references cited therein as examples of recent results on this topic. For the classification of the 841 oscillatory and nonoscillatory behavior of solutions of nonlinear neutral differential equations based on the values of the function p(t), we refer the reader to the paper of Graef, Spikes, and Grammatikopoulos [5].…”
