The results obtained essentially improve and extend those of Agarwal et al. [R. P. Agarwal, D. O Regan, S. H. Saker, Philostype oscillation criteria for second-order half linear dynamic equations, Rocky Mountain J. Math. 37 (2007) ], Saker [S. H. Saker, Oscillation criteria of second order halflinear dynamic equations on time scales, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 177 (2005) ], Hassan [T. S. Hassan, Oscillation criteria for half-linear dynamic equations on time scales, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 345 (2008) ]. Some examples are given to illustrate the main results.

INTRODUCTION The study of dynamic equations on time scales, which goes back to its founder Stefan Hilger [1], is an area of mathematics that has recently received a lot of attention. Several authors have expounded on various aspects of this new theory, see the survey paper by Agarwal et al. [2] and the references cited therein. For an excellent introduction to the calculus on time scales, see Bohner and Peterson [3]. Further information on working with dynamic equations on time scales can be found in [4].Recently, much attention is attracted by questions of the oscillation and nonoscillation of different classes of dynamic equations on time scales, we refer the reader to the papers [5 17] and the references therein. We are concerned with the oscillation of the second-order half-linear dynamic equations (1) on a time scale T; is a quotient of odd positive integers, r and p are rd-continuous positive functions defined on T: Since we are interested in oscillatory behavior, we assume throughout this paper that the given time scale T is About- Corresponding author: Zhenlai Han, hanzhenlai@163.com.

We assume t0 2 T and it is convenient to assume t0 > 0: We define the time scale interval of the form Agarwal et al. [5], Grace et al. [8], Hassan [10], Saker et al. [14] studied (1.1), and established some oscillation criteria under the case (2) and the authors obtained some sufficient conditions which guarantee that every solution x of (1.1) oscillates or under the case ( 3) Our aim of this paper is to establish some new oscillation criteria for (1.1) under the case when (1.3). The paper is organized as follows: In Section 2, we shall establish several new oscillation criteria for (1.1). In Section 3, some applications and examples are given to illustrate the main results. II. MAIN RESULTS In this section, by employing a Riccati transformation technique we establish oscillation criteria for Eq. (1.1). To prove our main results, we will use the formula which is a simple consequence of Keller s chain rule [3, Theorem 1.90].In the following, we denote Theorem 2.1-Assume that (1.3) holds, Further, there exists a positive function sufficiently large, such that and (2) then (1.1) is oscillatory. Proof. Let x be a nonoscillatory solution of (1.1). Without loss of generality we assume (1)

Case2. Define Multiplying (2.15) by we obtain (15)

Therefore, is an eventually strictly decreasing function, and there exists such that, Case 1 Define as (2.4). Proceeding as in the proof of Case 1 in Theorem 2.1, we can obtain a contradiction to (2.1). Case 2- Define as (2.11), that (2.12) and (2.13) hold. differentiating (2.11) and by (2.3), we obtain note that In view of Keller s chain rule, we get By (2.18), (2.17) and (2.16), we obtain that (18) Thus On the other hand, from (22) Define (19) Then by the inequality From (2.22), So, we get Noting that Thus, by (2.20) and (2.19), (20) by (2.12), Therefore, by (2.2), Hence, by (2.22), we get (2.15), then we obtain that (2.16) and (2.17) hold. In view of Keller s chain rule, which contradicts (2.13). This completes the proof. Theorem 2.2-Assume that (1.3) holds, Further, there exists a positive function (2.1) holds and sufficiently large, such that note that we see that From (2.23), (2.17) and (2.16), we obtain that (23) (21) then (1.1) is oscillatory. Proof-Let be a nonoscillatory solution of (1.1). Without loss of generality we assume In view of (24)

Case 2-When proceeding as in the proof of Case 2 of Theorem 2.1, that (2.15) holds. Multiplying (2.15) by and integrating it from t1 to t; we get Integrating by parts, we see that Thus, by (2.25) and (2.24), (25) in view of Keller s chain rule, we obtain note that It follows from (2.21) that Thus, from (2.27), we get which contradicts (2.13). This completes the proof. Theorem 2.3-Assume that (1.3) holds, Further, there exists a positive function sufficiently large, such that (2.1) holds, and By (2.13), we find that then (28) (26) then (1.1) is oscillatory. Proof-Let be a nonoscillatory solution of (1.1). Without loss of generality we assume As in the proof of Theorem 2.1 or Theorem 2.2, we consider two cases. Noting that we obtain and Thus, from (2.28), we get III. APPLICATIONS AND EXAMPLES which contradicts (2.26). When the proof is similar to the case so we omit it. This completes the proof. Agarwal et al. [5], Grace et al. [8], Hassan [10], Saker [14] considered Eq. (1.1), and established some oscillation criteria for (1.1). We introduce some results as follows. Theorem 3.1-(Saker [14]) Assume (1.3) holds and Furthermore, assume that there exists a positive function such that (2.1) holds, and

Theorem 3.2-(Hassan [10]) Assume (1.3) and (3.1) hold, Furthermore, assume that function such that there exists a positive We have (5) (2) Thus, We get that (2.1) holds. On the other hand, Example 3.4-Consider the second-order super-linear dynamic equation. Then every solution of (1.1) oscillates or converges to zero. In the following, we shall give some examples to illustrate the main results. Example 3.1 -Consider the second-order sub-linear dynamic equation (3) We obtain Hence, other hand, (6) We have that (2.1) holds. On the We see that Let : We get that (2.1) holds. On the other hand Hence, from Theorem 2.1, every solution Example 3.2-Consider the second-order super-linear dynamic equation We find Let We get that (2.1) holds. On the other hand, Hence, from Theorem 2.2, every solution of (3.4) oscillates. Example 3.3-Consider the second-order sub-linear dynamic equation (4) Therefore, by Theorem 2.3, every solution of (3.6) oscillates. IV. REFERENCES 1) S.
