Abstract In this article, we revise results obtained by Han et al. Mathematics Subject Classification 2000:34K11; 39A10. Keywords:oscillation, thirdorder, neutral dynamic equation, time scale
1. Introduction EmdenFowler type dynamic equations have some applications in the real world; see the background details introduced by Hilger [1]. Hence [2] studied a class of third order Emden Fowler neutral dynamic equations 2 γ r(t)(x(t)−a(t)x(τ(t))) +p(t)x(δ(t)) =(1:1)
on a time scalewith sup=, where the authors assume the following hypoth eses hold.
(A1)g>0 is the quotient of odd positive integers; (A2)randpare positive realvalued rdcontinuous functions defined onsuch Δ thatr(t)≥0; (A3)ais a positive realvalued rdcontinuous function defined onsuch that 0< a (t)≤a0<1 and limt®∞a(t) =a1; (A4) the functionsτT→andδT→Tare rdcontinuous functions such that τ(t)≤t,δ(t)≤t, and limt®∞τ(t) = limt®∞δ(t) =∞.
A time scaleis an arbitrary nonempty closed subset of the real numbersℝ. Since we are interested in oscillatory behavior, we suppose that the time scale under consid eration is not bounded above and is a time scale interval of the form [ [ t0,∞):=t0,∞)∩. For some concepts related to the notion of time scales; see [3]. Regarding the oscillation properties of (1.1) witha(t) = 0, Saker [47] established some types of criteria, e.g., HilleNeharitype and Philostype.
