Abstract

We investigate the bounded oscillation of the second-order nonlinear neutral delay dynamic equation with oscillating coefficients  \[
\Big(r(t)\Big|\big[x(t)+p(t)x(\tau(t))\big]^\Delta\Big|^{\alpha-1}\big[x(t)+p(t)x(\tau(t))\big]^\Delta\Big)^\Delta+q(t)|x(t)|^{\beta-1}x(t)=0
 \]
 on an arbitrary time scale $\mathbb{T}$, where $p$ is an oscillating function defined on $\mathbb{T}$ and $\alpha,\beta>0$ are constants, and obtain several sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all bounded solutions of the equation when $\beta>\alpha, \beta=\alpha$ and $\beta<\alpha$, respectively. Our results extend and complement some known results where $p(t)\equiv 0$ and $\alpha,\beta$ are quotients of odd positive integers.
