Abstract

For a scalar delay differential equation

a connection between the following four properties is established:

  • non-oscillation of this equation
  • non-oscillation of the corresponding differential inequality
  • positiveness of the fundamental function - existence of a non-negative solution for a certain explicitly constructed nonlinear integral inequality.
    Explicit non-oscillation and oscillation conditions, comparison theorems and a criterion of the existence of a positive solution are presented for this equation.
