Abstract

In this paper; we establish the equivalence of the oscillation of the two equations

(x (t) - x (t - r))^{(n)} + p (t) x (t - σ) = 0 and x^{(n + 1)} (t) + \frac{p ( t )}{r} x (t) = 0

where $p (t) \geq 0$ and $n \geq 1$ is odd, from which we obtain some new oscillation conditions and comparison theorems for the first of these equations.
