Abstract

The main goal of the work is to study the necessary and sufficient conditions for the oscillation of solutions of second order neutral difference equations of the form:

$$\begin{aligned} \Delta [a(n)\Delta (x(n)+r(n)x(\tau (n))] +p(n)G(x(\sigma (n)))=0. \end{aligned}$$

Here, we assume that the non-linear function is either strongly sublinear or strongly superliner. Some examples are given to illustrate our main results.
