Journal of Mathematical Sciences Aims and scope Submit manuscript

We consider a difference equation

$$ \varDelta u(k)+\sum \limits_{i-1}^m{p}_i(k)\;u\left({\tau}_i(k)\right)=0, $$

where m ϵ N, the functions, pi : NR+ and τi : N → N,  limk →  + ∞τi(k) =  +  ∞ ,  τi(k) ≤  k − 1,  i = 1, …, m, are defined on the set of natural numbers, and Δu(k) = u(k + 1) − u(k) is the difference operator. New oscillation criteria are established for all solutions of the equation.
