Abstract

For the scalar delay differential equation with a distributed delay

a connection between the properties
non-oscillation
positiveness of the fundamental function
existence of a non-negative solution for a certain nonlinear integral inequality
is established. This enables to obtain comparison theorems and explicit non-oscillation and oscillation conditions being generalizations of some known results for delay equations and integro-differential equations and leads to oscillation results for equations with infinite number of delays.
