Abstract
The objective in this work is to study oscillation criteria for second-order quasi-linear differential equations with an advanced argument. We establish new oscillation criteria using both the comparison technique with first-order advanced differential inequalities and the Riccati transformation. The established criteria improve, simplify and complement results that have been published recently in the literature. We illustrate the results by an example.

1 Introduction
In this work, we study sufficient conditions for the oscillation of the solutions of second-order nonlinear differential equations with an advanced argument of the form
where we assume that the following conditions hold:
- \(( H_{1} ) \):
α and β are quotients of odd positive integers;
- \(( H_{2} ) \):
\(r\in C^{1} ( [t_{0},\infty ), ( 0,\infty ) ) \), satisfies
$$ \mu ( t_{0} ) := \int _{t_{0}}^{\infty } \frac{1}{r^{1/\alpha } ( s ) }\, \mathrm{d}s< \infty ; $$- \(( H_{3} ) \):
\(g\in C^{1} ( [t_{0},\infty ),\mathbb{R} ) \), and we suppose that, for all \(t\geq t_{0}\), \(g ( t ) \geq t\), \(g^{\prime } ( t ) \geq 0\) and \(p\in C[t_{0},\infty ),[0,\infty )\) does not vanish identically.
- \(( H_{4} ) \):
\(f\in ( \mathbb{R} ,\mathbb{R} ) \) is such that \(uf ( u ) >0\) for \(u\neq 0\) and satisfies the following condition:
$$ \text{There exists a constant }\kappa >0\text{ such that }f ( u ) >\kappa u^{\beta }\text{ for all }u \neq 0. $$(1.2)
A solution of (1.1) is an \(x\in C ( [t_{0},\infty ),[0,\infty ) ) \) with \(t_{a}=\min \{\tau ( t_{b} ) ,g ( t_{b} ) \}\), for some \(t_{b}>t_{0}\), which satisfies the property \(r ( u^{\prime } ) ^{\alpha }\in C^{1} ( [t_{a}, \infty ),[0,\infty ) ) \) and moreover satisfies (1.1) on \([t_{b},\infty )\). We consider the nontrivial solutions of (1.1) existing on some half-line \([t_{b},\infty ) \) and satisfying the condition
If x is neither positive nor negative eventually, then \(x ( t ) \) is called oscillatory. Otherwise, it is a non-oscillatory solution.
Differential equations with advanced arguments are used in many applied problems where the rate of development depends on the future, as well as on the present time. In a delay equation, delays represent the retrospective memory of the past. In differential equations with an advanced argument, advances represent the prospective memory of the future, accounting for the influence on the system of potential future actions, which are available at the present time. For instance, population dynamics, economics problems, or mechanical control engineering are typical fields where such phenomena are thought to occur, see [14, 20].
The many applications of functional differential equations have been the motive behind the active research movement in recent times, see [1–13, 22, 24–33] and [34, 35, 37]. In recent decades, a great amount of work has been done on the oscillation theory of the different order differential equations with delay and advanced argument [4–13, 15–21, 23] and [24–33, 36].
This work aims at further developing the oscillation theory of second-order quasi-linear equations with advanced argument. We use an approach that combines the comparison with first-order advanced differential inequalities and the Riccati transformation. That enables us to get various conditions, ensuring the oscillation of (1.1). In this paper, we simplify and improve the results in [36, Theorem 1.7.8] and obtain a new criterion for ensuring the oscillation of the solutions of (1.1). We illustrate the improvement obtained by the results in this paper, through an example.
Lemma 1.1
([7])
Let\(\alpha \geq 1 \)be a ratio of two odd numbers. Then
and
Lemma 1.2
([33])
Let\(\alpha ,\beta >0\)and assume thatuis an eventually non-increasing positive solution of (1.1). Then, \(u^{\beta -\alpha } ( t ) \geq \eta ( t ) \)holds, where\(\eta ( t ) \)is defined by
anda, \(a_{2}\)are positive constants.
2 Auxiliary lemmas
The proofs of our main results are essentially based on the following lemmas.
Lemma 2.1
Assume that (1.1) has an eventually positive solutionu. If
then
Proof
Assume that there exists a \(t_{1}\geq t_{0}\) such that equation (1.1) has a positive solution u on \([ t_{1},\infty ] \). Hence, from \(( H_{4} ) \), we obtain
Thus, we get that \(u^{\prime }\) is of fixed sign, eventually. Now, we will prove that \(u^{\prime }<0\). To the contrary, suppose there exists a \(t_{2}\geq t_{1}\) such that \(u^{\prime }>0\) for \(t\geq t_{2}\). Define a positive function w by
Differentiating (2.3), we get
From (2.2) and \(g ( t ) \geq t\), it follows that
Thus
Integrating (2.4) from \(t_{2}\) to t, we get
which yields a contradiction to w being positive. Hence, \(u^{\prime } ( t ) <0\), therefore, the proof is complete. □
Lemma 2.2
If equation (1.1) has an eventually decreasing positive solutionu, then
Proof
Assume that there exists a \(t_{1}\geq t_{0}\) such that equation (1.1) has a positive solution u on \([ t_{1},\infty ] \) and \(u^{\prime }<0\). Hence, from \(( H_{4} ) \), we get that (2.2) holds and therefore
for all \(s\geq t\). Integrating this inequality from t to v yields
Letting \(v\rightarrow \infty \) in the above inequality, we see that
and consequently,
Thus, the proof is complete. □
Lemma 2.3
Assume that equation (1.1) has an eventually positive solutionuand
Thenusatisfies\(( \mathbf{P}_{1} ) \), and
Proof
Assume that there exists a \(t_{1}\geq t_{0}\) such that \(u ( t ) >0\) for all \(t\geq t_{1}\). From (2.6) and (\(H_{2}\)), we conclude that condition (2.1) holds. From Lemma 2.1, it follows that u satisfies \(( \mathbf{P}_{1} ) \).
Next, since u is a positive decreasing function, we get that \(\lim_{t\rightarrow \infty }u ( t ) =c\geq 0\). Suppose that \(c>0\). Then, there exists \(t_{2}\geq t_{1}\) such that \(u ( g ( t ) ) \leq c\), and so
for \(t\geq t_{2}\). We integrate this inequality twice from \(t_{2}\) to t. Then, after the first integration, we get
Therefore,
After the second integration, we obtain
This implies that \(\lim_{t\rightarrow \infty }u(t)=-\infty \), which contradicts \(c>0\). The proof of the lemma is complete. □
Lemma 2.4
Assume that equation (1.1) has an eventually positive solutionuand (2.6) holds. Then, there exist positive constants\(\delta _{1}\)and\(\delta _{2}\)and\(t_{\delta }\geq t_{1}\)such that
for\(t\geq t_{\delta }\).
Proof
As in the proof of Lemma 2.3, we get that \(( \mathbf{P}_{1} ) \), \(( \mathbf{P}_{2} ) \) and \(( \mathbf{P}_{3} ) \) hold. From \(( \mathbf{P}_{2} ) \), there exist \(t_{2}\geq t_{1}\) and \(\delta _{1}>0\) such that \(u ( t ) /\mu ( t ) \geq \delta _{1}\) for all \(t\geq t_{2}\). Next, by integrating (1.1) from \(t_{2}\) to t, we get
Therefore,
From \((\mathbf{P}_{3})\), there exists a \(t_{3}\geq t_{2}\) such that the left-hand side of this inequality is positive for \(t\geq t_{3}\), and thus
for \(t\geq t_{3}\). By Lemma 2.2, the last inequality gives
Hence,
From Lemma 1.2, we obtain
Then
Integrating (2.9) from \(t_{3}\) to t, we have
where
The proof is complete. □
Lemma 2.5
Assume that (2.1) holds and (1.1) has a positive solutionuon\([ t_{1},\infty ) \). Let there exist constantsγandδsuch that\(\gamma +\delta \in [ 0,1 ) \),
and
Then, there exists a\(t_{2}\geq t_{1}\)such that
for\(t\geq t_{2}\).
Proof
From (2.1) and Lemma 2.1, we get that \(( \mathbf{P}_{1} ) \) holds, and hence
Using (2.10), we obtain
Hence, \(-r ( u^{\prime } ) ^{\alpha }\mu ^{\gamma }\) is non-decreasing, and thus there exists a \(t_{2}\geq t_{1}\) such that
Thus,
Proceeding as in the proof of Lemma 2.4, we obtain that (2.9) holds, and so
Therefore, we arrive at
The proof is complete. □
3 Main results
In this section, we shall establish some oscillation criteria for (1.1). Let us define
We are now ready to state and prove the main theorems.
Theorem 3.1
If
then every solution of (1.1) is oscillatory.
Proof
Suppose, against the theorem’s statement, that equation (1.1) has a non-oscillatory solution u on \([ t_{0},\infty ) \). Without loss of generality, we may assume that \(u ( t ) >0\), \(u ( g ( t ) ) >0\) for \(t\geq t_{1}\geq t_{0}\). Now, a necessary result to satisfy Condition (3.1) is that \(\int _{t_{0}}^{\infty }p ( s ) \mu ^{\beta } ( g ( s ) ) \,\mathrm{d}s\) is unbounded. Thus, from \(( H_{2} ) \) and \(\mu ^{\prime }(t)<0\), it is easy to note that (2.1) is valid. So, by Lemmas 2.1 and 2.2, we get that \(( \mathbf{P}_{1} ) \) and \(( \mathbf{P}_{2} ) \) hold. Therefore, there exist \(a>0\) and \(t_{2}\geq t_{1}\) such that \(u ( t ) \geq a\mu ( t ) \) for \(t\geq t_{1}\), and then
Integrating (3.2) from \(t_{2}\) to t, we get
i.e.,
Integrating this inequality from \(t_{2}\) to t, letting \(t\rightarrow \infty \), and using (3.1), we get a contradiction to u being positive. The proof is complete. □
Theorem 3.2
If
for any\(t_{1}\in [ t_{0},\infty ) \), where
then (1.1) is oscillatory. Moreover, if (2.6) holds and
then (1.1) is oscillatory.
Proof
Suppose, against the theorem’s statement, that equation (1.1) has a non-oscillatory solution u on \([ t_{0},\infty ) \). Without loss of generality, we may assume that \(u ( t ) >0\), \(u ( g ( t ) ) >0\) for \(t\geq t_{1}\geq t_{0}\). We can see that (3.3) and \(( H_{2} ) \) imply (2.1). Thus, Lemma 2.1 is valid for \(t>t_{1}\). Integrating (1.1) from \(t_{1}\) to t, we obtain
The last inequality, together with (2.5), implies that
Since \(r ( t ) ( u^{\prime } ( t ) ) ^{ \alpha }\) is non-increasing and \(g ( t ) \geq t\), we get
which contradicts (3.3).
On the other hand, let (2.6) hold. From the definition of η, we note that \(\eta ( t ) \) is bounded. Thus, from Lemma 2.3, we get that \(\lim_{t\rightarrow \infty }u ( t ) =0\), and hence there exists a \(t_{2}\in [ t_{1},\infty ) \) large enough, such that
for all \(t\geq t_{2}\). Therefore, from (3.5), we obtain
As in (3.6) and (3.7), we get a contradiction to (3.4). The proof of the theorem is complete. □
Theorem 3.3
Assume that
or
Then (1.1) is oscillatory.
Proof
Suppose, against the theorem’s statement, that equation (1.1) has a non-oscillatory solution u on \([ t_{0},\infty ) \). Without loss of generality, we may assume that \(u ( t ) >0\), \(u ( g ( t ) ) >0\) for \(t\geq t_{1}\geq t_{0}\). We note that the following condition is necessary for (3.8) to be valid:
Moreover, (3.10) with \(( H_{2} ) \) ensure (2.1). From Lemma 2.1 and 2.2, we have that \(( \mathbf{P}_{1} ) \) and (2.5) hold. It follows from (1.1) and (2.5) that
This implies that \(\varphi :=-r ( u^{\prime } ) ^{\alpha }\) is a positive solution of the first-order advanced differential inequality
In view of [24, Theorem 2.4.1] and [23, Theorem 1], conditions (3.8) and (3.9) imply that the advanced inequality (3.11) has no positive solutions when \(\alpha =\beta \) and \(\alpha <\beta \), respectively. This contradiction completes the proof. □
Theorem 3.4
Assume that
or
where
Then (1.1) is oscillatory.
Proof
Proceeding as in the proof of Theorem 3.3, we obtain that (3.10), together with \(( H_{2} ) \), implies (2.1). Then, from Lemma 2.1 and 2.2, we get that \(( \mathbf{P}_{1} ) \) and (2.5) hold. Now, let \(\varphi :=r ( u^{\prime } ) ^{\alpha }\) and
Then,
which, together with (1.1), implies that
Integrating (3.15) from t to ∞, we get
Using (2.5) in last inequality, we have
From (3.14), we arrive at
where \(\widehat{\varphi }:=-\varphi \). The rest of proof is similar to that of Theorem 3.3, and therefore we omit it. □
Theorem 3.5
Assume that (2.1) holds. If there exists a\(\rho \in C^{1} ( [ t_{0},\infty ) , ( 0, \infty ) ) \)such that
for any\(T\in [ t_{0},\infty ) \), then (1.1) is oscillatory.
Proof
Suppose to the contrary of the theorem’s statement that equation (1.1) has a non-oscillatory solution u on \([ t_{0},\infty ) \). Without loss of generality, we can assume that \(u ( t ) >0\), \(u ( g ( t ) ) >0\) for \(t\geq t_{1}\geq t_{0}\). By Lemma 2.1 and 2.2, we have \(( \mathbf{P}_{1} ) \) and \(( \mathbf{P}_{2} ) \) hold for \(t>t_{1}\). Equation (1.1), together with \(( \mathbf{P}_{2} ) \), leads to
Now, let us make the positive generalized Riccati substitution:
Differentiating (3.18), we get
From (3.19) and (3.17), we have
Using Lemma 1.1, with
we obtain
We can write inequality (2.5) in the form
Integrating (3.20) from \(t_{2}\) to t, we get
In view of the definition of \(\omega ( t ) \), we get
Using inequality (3.21) into (3.22), we are led to
Taking the limit superior of both sides of the inequality, we get a contradiction. This completes the proof. □
4 Discussion and examples
By using Lemma 2.5, we further improve the established oscillation criteria in Theorems 3.2, 3.3, and 3.5.
Corollary 4.1
Assume that there exist constantsγandδsuch that\(\gamma +\delta \in [ 0,1 ) \)and (2.10) and (2.11) hold. If
then (1.1) is oscillatory.
Proof
Suppose to the contrary of the corollary’s statement that equation (1.1) has a non-oscillatory solution u on \([ t_{0},\infty ) \). Without loss of generality, we may assume that \(u ( t ) >0\), \(u ( g ( t ) ) >0\) for \(t\geq t_{1}\geq t_{0}\). From \(( H_{2} ) \), as \(t\rightarrow \infty \), we get
Then, we see that \(\int _{t_{1}}^{t}\mu ^{\delta \alpha } ( g ( t ) ) p ( s ) \,\mathrm{d}s\) and \(\int _{t_{0}}^{t}p ( s ) \,\mathrm{d}s\) are unbounded. Hence, (2.1) is necessary for (3.1) to be valid. From Lemma 2.1, \(( \mathbf{P}_{1} ) \) is satisfied for \(t\geq t_{1}\). By (1.1), we obtain
Using Lemma 2.5, we get
Moreover,
Therefore, (4.1) becomes
Then
This completes the proof. □
Corollary 4.2
Assume thatγis a constant satisfying (3.4) and\(0\leq \gamma <1\). If\(\alpha =\beta \)and
then (1.1) is oscillatory.
Corollary 4.3
Assume that (2.1) holds. If there exists a function\(\rho \in C^{1} ( [ t_{0},\infty ) , ( 0, \infty ) ) \)such that
where
then (1.1) is oscillatory.
For an appropriate choice of the function ρ (1 or \(\mu ( t ) \), or \(\mu ^{\alpha } ( t ) \)), Theorem 3.5 and Corollary 4.1 can be used to study the oscillation of (1.1) in a wide range of applications. Hence, by choosing \(\rho (t) =\mu ^{\alpha } ( t ) \), we get the following results:
Corollary 4.4
Assume that (2.1) holds. If
for any\(T\in [ t_{0},\infty ) \), then (1.1) is oscillatory.
Corollary 4.5
Assume that (2.1) holds andpis defined as in (4.2). If
then (1.1) is oscillatory.
Example 4.1
Consider the equation
where \(\lambda \geq 1\) and
We note that \(\kappa =1\), \(r ( t ) :=t^{2\alpha }\), \(p ( t ) :=p_{0}t^{\upsilon -1}\), \(g ( t ) :=\lambda t\), and \(f ( v ) :=v^{\beta }\). Thus, we see that \(\mu ( t ) =1/t \) and
First, let \(\alpha <\beta \). We see that (3.1) is not satisfied and therefore, Theorem 3.1 does not apply. Also, since (3.4), namely \(\kappa a_{2}p_{0}>\beta \lambda ^{\beta }\), for any \(a_{2}\), Theorem 3.2 does not apply in this example. On the other hand, by Theorem 3.3, we see that
and thus (4.3) is oscillatory.
Assume that \(\alpha >\beta \). Using Theorem 3.2, we get that (4.3) is oscillatory.
Finally, let \(\alpha =\beta \). From Lemma 2.3 and 2.4, any positive solution u of (4.3) satisfies \(\lim_{t\rightarrow \infty }u ( t ) =\infty \) and there exist positive constants \(\delta _{1}\) and \(\delta _{2}\) and \(t_{\delta }\geq t_{1}\) such that
where
for \(t\geq t_{\delta }\). The following list shows the conditions that have resulted from our theorems:
where \(\gamma :=p_{0}\lambda ^{-\alpha }\) and \(\delta :=p_{0}^{1/\alpha }/ ( \lambda \alpha ^{1/\alpha } ) \). We note that Theorem 3.4 improves Theorem 3.3, Corollary 4.2 improves Theorem 3.4, and Corollary 4.5 improves Corollary 4.4.
