Abstract
Neutral differential equations are studied. Sufficient conditions are obtained to have oscillatory solutions or nonoscillatory solutions. For the existence of solutions, the Schauder-Tikhonov fixed point theorem is used.
Keywords
nonoscillatory solution, neutral differential equation, oscillatory solution
