In this work, new oscillation criteria are established for a second-order differential equation with several sublinear neutral terms and in the canonical case. To determine the oscillation conditions, we followed the Riccati approach and also compared the studied equation with a first-order delay equation. Obtaining the oscillation conditions required deducing some new relationships linking the solution to the corresponding function as well as its derivatives. The paper addresses some interesting analytical points in the study of the oscillation of equations with several sublinear neutral terms. These new findings complement some well-known findings in the literature. Furthermore, an example is provided to show the importance of the results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper delves into the analysis of oscillation characteristics within third-order quasilinear delay equations, focusing on the canonical case. Novel sufficient conditions are introduced, aimed at discerning the nature of solutions—whether they exhibit oscillatory behavior or converge to zero. By expanding the literature, this study enriches the existing knowledge landscape within this field. One of the foundations on which we rely in proving the results is the symmetry between the positive and negative solutions, so that we can, using this feature, obtain criteria that guarantee the oscillation of all solutions. The paper enhances comprehension through the provision of illustrative examples that effectively showcase the outcomes and implications of the established findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We investigate the oscillation of the fourth-order differential equation for a class of functional differential equations of the neutral type. We obtain a new single-oscillation criterion for the oscillation of all the solutions of our equation. We establish new monotonic properties for some cases of positive solutions of the studied equation. Moreover, we improve these properties by using an iterative method. This development of monotonic properties contributes to obtaining new and more efficient criteria for verifying the oscillation of the equation. The results obtained extend and improve previous findings in the literature by using an Euler-type equation as an example. The importance of the results was clarified by applying them to some special cases of the studied equation. The fourth-order delay differential equations have great practical importance due to their wide applications in civil, mechanical, and aeronautical engineering. Research on this type of equation is still ongoing due to its remarkable importance in many fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we investigate some of the qualitative properties of a class of fourth-order neutral differential equations. We start by obtaining new inequalities and relations between the solution and its corresponding function, as well as with its derivatives. The new relations allow us to improve the monotonic and asymptotic properties of the positive solutions of the studied equation. Then, using an improved approach, we establish new criteria that test the oscillation of all solutions. We also rely on the principle of symmetry between positive and negative solutions to obtain the new criteria. The paper provides illustrative examples that highlight the significance of our findings.

In this study, the effects of laser light on the heat transfer of a thin beam heated by an applied current and voltage are investigated. Laser heating pulses are simulated as endogenous heat sources with discrete temporal properties. The heat conduction equation is developed using the energy conservation equation and the modified Moore–Gibson–Thompson (MGT) heat flow vector. Thermal and structural analysis of Euler–Bernoulli microbeams is provided with the support of visco-Pasternak's base with three parameters. Using the Laplace transform method, an approximation of an analytical solution is found for the field variables being examined. A comparison was made of the impacts of laser pulse length, the three foundation coefficients, and the thermal parameters on the responses to changes in measured thermophysical fields, such as deflection and temperature.

In this paper, we establish oscillation theorems for all solutions to fourth-order neutral differential equations using the Riccati transformation approach and some inequalities. Some new criteria are established that can be used in cases where known theorems fail to apply. The approach followed depends on finding conditions that guarantee the exclusion of positive solutions, and as a result of the symmetry between the positive and negative solutions of the studied equation, we therefore exclude negative solutions. An illustrative example is given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
