Deskripsi

In this paper, the authors study the oscillatory properties of third order quasilinear neutral difference equation of the form $$\Delta(a_{n}(\Delta^{2}(x_{n} + p_{n}x_{n-\delta}))^{\alpha}) + q_{n} {x^{\alpha}_{n-\tau}} = 0,\quad n\geq 0, \tag{E}$$ where $\alpha > 0, 0\leq p_{n}\leq p < \infty. $ By using Riccati transformation we estabilish some new sufficient conditions which ensure that every solution of equation (E) is either oscillatory or converges to zero. These results improve some known results in the literature. Examples are provided to illustrate the main results.
