Oscillation criteria for first-order nonlinear delay difference equations. (English) Zbl 1038.39005

Two oscillation criteria are obtained for the delay difference equation \[ x_{n+1}- x_n+ p_n f(x_{n-l_1},\dots, x_n- l_m)= 0, \] where \(p_n\geq 0\) and \(f(y_1,\dots, y_m)/\sum^m_{j=1}| y_j|^{\alpha_j}\text{sgn\,}y_j\to 0\) as \(\max_{1\leq j\leq m}| y_j|\to 0\) for \(\alpha_j> 0\), \(j= 1,\dots, n\), such that \(\sum^m_{j=1} \alpha_j= 1\). For the case where \(f(y_1,\dots, y_m):= f(x_l)\), the results in this paper cover some recent work by X. H. Tang and J. S. Yu [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 249, No. 2, 476–490 (2000; Zbl 0963.39021)].
Reviewer’s remark: The term \(\prod^m_{j=1} u^{\alpha_j}_j\) in \((H_2)\), (iv) and in (9) should be replaced by
\(\prod^m_{j=1}| u_j|^{\alpha_j}\text{sgn\,}u_j\).
