Even-order differential equation with continuous delay: nonexistence criteria of Kneser solutions

Abstract In this paper, we study even-order DEs where we deduce new conditions for nonexistence Kneser solutions for this type of DEs. Based on the nonexistence criteria of Kneser solutions, we establish the criteria for oscillation that take into account the effect of the delay argument, where to our knowledge all the previous results neglected the effect of the delay argument, so our results improve the previous results. The effectiveness of our new criteria is illustrated by examples.
