Abstract
In this work, we study the oscillatory behavior of the nth order neutral equation
where n, k are positive integers, n is even, \(n\ge 2,\)p is the p-Laplace operator (constant), \(p>1\) and
New oscillation criteria are obtained by employing a refinement of the Riccati transformations, comparison principles and integral averaging technique. This new theorem complements and improves a number of results reported in the literature. One example is provided to illustrate the main results.
