INTRODUCTION In this paper we shall study the oscillatory behavior of the functional differential equation x n 1 t α 1 x n 1 t ) + F t x g t = 0 n even 1.1) where α is a positive constant, g t C t 0 lim t g t =, F t x C t 0, sgn F t x =sgn x t t 0. We shall assume that there exist a constant β>0 a function q t C t 0 + such that F t x sgn x q t x β for x 0 t t 0 1.) By a solution of Eq. 1.1) we mean a function x t C n 1 T x for some T x t 0 which has the property that x n 1 t α 1 x n 1 t C 1 T x satisfies equation 1.1) on T x. A nontrivial solution of Eq. 1.1) is called oscillatory if it has arbitrarily large zeros; otherwise it is said to be nonoscillatory. Equation 1.1) is oscillatory if all of its solutions are oscillatory. The equation 1.1) with n =, namely, the equation x t α 1 x t ) + F t x g t = 0 /or related equations have been the subject of intensive studies in recent years because these equations are natural generalizations of the equation x t +F t x g t = 0 For recent contributions we refer the reader to 5, 15, 19, 0] references therein. As far as we know the equation 1.1) has never been the subject of systematic investigations. In Section, we shall present some oscillation criteria for Eq. 1.1) which extend several known results established in 10, 16, 18 0]. Section 3 contains extensions of some of the results presented in Section to a special case of 1.1), namely, the equation x n 1 t α 1 x n 1 t ) + q t f x g t = 0 1.3) where α>0 is a constant, q t C t 0 + g t C t 0, f x C, lim t g t =, xf x > 0 for x 0. The function f in equation 1.3) need not be a monotonic function. Here, we shall also consider equations of neutral type of the form d x t +p t x τ t n 1 α 1 x t +p t x τ t n 1 ) + F t x g t dt = 0 1.4)
3 oscillation criteria 603 where α F, g are as in Eq. 1.1), p t C t = 0 τ t C 1 t 0, lim t τ t =. The obtained results extend those presented in 10, 1, 16]. In Section 4, we shall consider the more general equation x n 1 t α 1 x n 1 t ) + F t x g t d dt x h t ) = 0 1.5) where α is a positive constant, g t h t C t 0 h t t h t > 0 for t t 0 lim t g t = =lim t h t, F C t 0. We shall assume that there exist a function q t C t 0 + positive constants β µ such that F t x y sgn x q t x β y µ for xy 0 t t 0 1.6) The results presented in this section extend some of our earlier work in 1,, 6]. We shall need the following:. MAIN RESULTS Lemma.1 18]. Let x t C n t 0 +.Ifx n t is eventually of one sign for all large t, say, t 1 t 0, then there exist a t x t 0 an integer l 0 l n, with n + l even for x n t 0 or n + l odd for x n t 0 such that l>0 implies that x k t > 0 for t t x k = 0 1 l 1 l n 1 implies that 1 l+k x k t > 0 for t t x, k = l l + 1 n 1. Lemma. 18]. If the function x t is as in Lemma.1 x n 1 t x n t 0 for t t x, then there exists a constant θ 0 <θ<1, such that x t x t/ θ n 1! tn 1 x n 1 t θ n! tn x n 1 t for all large t for all large t

If X Y are nonnegative numbers, then X λ λxy λ 1 + λ 1 Y λ 0 λ > 1 X λ λxy λ 1 1 λ Y λ 0 0 <λ<1 In the above inequalities the equality holds if only if X=Y. Theorem.1. Let condition 1.) hold with α = β. If there exist σ t ρ t C 1 t 0 +, a constant θ>1 such that σ t inf t g t for T t 0, lim sup t T lim σ t = t σ t > 0 for t t 0.1) ρ s α+1 ] ρ s q s λθ ds =.) ρ s σ n s σ s α where λ = 1/ α + 1 α+1 n 1! α, then Eq. 1.1) is oscillatory. Proof. Suppose to the contrary that Eq. 1.1) has a nonoscillatory solution x t. Without loss of generality, we may assume that x t > 0 for t t 1 t 0 0. Since x n 1 t α 1 x n 1 t ) = F t x g t 0 it follows that the function x n 1 t α 1 x n 1 t is decreasing x n 1 t is eventually of one sign. If x n 1 t < 0 eventually, then since 0 x n 1 t α 1 α 1x x t ) n 1 = α x t ) n 1 n t we find that x n t 0 eventually. But then Lemma.1 implies that x n 1 t > 0 eventually. Further, when x n 1 t > 0 eventually then again from Lemma.1 note n is even) we have x t > 0 eventually. Thus there exists a t t 1 such that Define x t > 0 x n 1 t > 0 for t t.3) x n 1 t ) α w t =ρ t x β σ t / Then, for t t, in view of 1.) we have w t ρ t q t + ρ t ρ t w t βσ t ρ t t t αx x t ) n 1 σ t / x β+1 σ t /.4)
5 oscillation criteria 605 By Lemma. notice since x n 1 t > 0 for t t, we have x n 1 t α 0 for t t, which in turn implies x n t 0 for t t ), there exists a t 3 t a constant θ 1 0 <θ 1 < 1 such that x σ t / since x n 1 σ t x n 1 t for t t 3. Using.5) in.4) with α = β, wefind Fix t t 3, set X = Y = θ 1 n! σn t x n 1 t for t t 3.5) w t ρ t q t + ρ t ρ t w t αθ 1 n! σ n t σ t ρ 1/α t w α+1 /α t ) α/ α+1 αθ1 n! σn t σ w t t λ = α + 1 /α > 1 ρ 1/ α+1 t ) α α ρ ) t α/ α+1 ] α αθ1 α + 1 ρ t ρ1/ α+1 t n! σn t σ t Then, by Lemma.3, we obtain ρ t ρ t w t αθ 1 n! σn t σ t ρ 1/α t w α+1 /α t ) 1 α+1 ρ ) t α+1 ) θ α ] ρ t 1 α + 1 ρ t n! σn t σ t t t 3 Now, inequality.4) reduces to w t ρ t q t λρ t ρ ) t α ] ρ t θ 1 ρ t σ n t σ t for t t 3 Integrating the above inequality from t 3 to t, weget 0 <w t w t 3 t t 3 ρ s q s λρ s ρ s θ 1 ρ s σ n s σ s ) α ] ds.6) Taking lim sup on both sides of.6) as t, we obtain a contradiction to condition.). This completes the proof.
6 606 agarwal, grace, o regan We can apply Theorem.1 to the second order half-linear equation x t α 1 x t ) + q t x g t α 1 x g t = 0.7) where α>0 is a constant, q t C t 0 + g t C t 0, lim t g t =. In fact, we get the following new result. Corollary.1. If there exist two functions ρ t σ t C 1 t 0 + such that condition.1) holds, t ] ρ s q s ds =.8) lim sup t then Eq..7) is oscillatory. t 0 1 ρ s α+1 α + 1 α+1 ρ s σ s α Proof. Let x t be a nonoscillatory solution of Eq..7), say, x t > 0 for t t 1 t 0. It is easy to check that x t > 0 x σ t x t for t t t 1. Next, we define x ) t α w t =ρ t t t x σ t Then, w t ρ t q t + ρ t ρ t αρ 1/α t w α+1 /α t for t t The rest of the proof is similar to that of Theorem.1 hence is omitted. The following example illustrates our theory. Example.1. Consider the second order half-linear differential equation x t α 1 x t ) 1 + t α+1 x t α 1 x t =0 t > 0.9) where α>0 is a constant. Here, we take ρ t =t α. Then, t 1 ρ s α+1 ] ρ s q s ds T α + 1 α+1 ρ α s t ) α α+1 ] 1 = 1 α + 1 s ds = T 1 α α + 1 ) α+1 ] ln t T as t All conditions of Corollary.1 are satisfied hence Eq..9) is oscillatory. We note that the above conclusion do not appear to follow from the known oscillation criteria in the literature.

Let condition 1.) hold with α = β. If lim sup t α n 1 q s ds > n 1! α.10) t γ t Proof. Let x t be an eventually positive solution of Eq. 1.1), say, x t > 0 for t t 1 t 0. As in the proof of Theorem.1, we obtain.3) for t t. Now integrating Eq. 1.1) from t t to u letting u, we get x n 1 t ) α q s x α g s ds By Lemma. there exist a constant θ 0 <θ<1 t 3 t such that Thus, x t t θ n 1! tn 1 x n 1 t for t t 3.11) ) x α θ α t n 1! tn 1 x n 1 t α ) θ α n 1! tn 1 q s x α g s ds t for t t 3 Now by γ t t the fact that x t > 0 g s t for s γ t, it follows that ) x α θ α t n 1! tn 1 q s x α g s ds γ t ) θ α n 1! tn 1 x α t q s ds Dividing both sides of the above inequality by x α t, weget ) θ α n 1! tn 1 q s ds 1 for t t 3.1) γ t Thus, γ t t n 1 ) α t lim sup q s ds = c< t n 1! γ t
8 608 agarwal, grace, o regan Suppose.10) holds. Then there exists a sequence T m m=1, with T m as m such that ) α Tm lim q s ds = c>1 m n 1! γ T m Thus, for ɛ = c 1 / > 0, there exists N>0 such that ) c + 1 α Tm = c ɛ< q s ds for m>n.13) n 1! γ T m Choose K / c + 1 1/α 1. From.1).13), we get ) α 1 K α Tλ q s ds > c + 1 = 1 n 1! γ T λ c + 1 for T λ sufficiently large. This contradiction proves that condition.10) is not satisfied. This completes the proof. In Theorem. if g t t, i.e., g t is an advanced argument, g t 0 for t t 0, we find that Theorem. takes the following form. Theorem.3. Let condition 1.) hold with α = β g t t, g t 0 for t t 0. If. lim sup t then Eq. 1.1) is oscillatory. t α n 1 q s ds > n 1! α.14) t Example.. Consider the half-linear differential equation x n 1 t α 1 x n 1 t ) + ct α n 1 1 x g t α 1 x g t.15) = 0 t > 0 where α c are positive constants, g t C t 0, lim t g t =. We conclude the following: i) If g t =t/, then γ t =t, hence Eq..15) is oscillatory by Theorem. provided that c> α n 1 α n 1 n 1! α ii) If g t t g t 0, then Eq..15) is oscillatory by Theorem.3 provided that c>α n 1 n 1! α Next, we have the following comparison result.

Let condition 1.) hold assume that there exist a function σ t C 1 t 0 + a constant θ 0 <θ<1 such that σ t inf t g t σ t 0 lim σ t =.16) t for t t 0 If every solution of the delay equation ) y θ α t + σ α n 1 t y σ t β/α sgn y σ t = 0.17) n 1! is oscillatory, then Eq. 1.1) is oscillatory. Proof. Let x t be a nonoscillatory solution of Eq. 1.1), say, x t > 0 for t t 1 t 0. As in the proof of Theorem.1, we see that x n 1 t > 0 for t t t 1. By Lemma. there exist a constant θ, 0<θ<1 t 3 t such that x σ t θ n 1! σn 1 t x n 1 σ t for t t 3.18) Using.18) in Eq. 1.1), for t t 3 we obtain x n 1 t ) ) α) θ β + n 1! σn 1 t q t x n 1 σ t ) β x n 1 t ) ) α + q t x β σ t 0.19) Let y t = x n 1 t ) α t t3 to get y θ ) βq t t + n 1! σn 1 t y β/α σ t ) 0 for t t 3.0) Integrating inequality.0) from t t 3 to u letting u,wefind θ ) βq s y y t n 1! σn 1 s β/α σ s ds for t t 3 t The function y t is obviously decreasing on t 3. Hence, by Theorem 1 in 17], we conclude that there exists a positive solution y t of Eq..17) with lim t y t =0, which contradicts the fact that Eq..17) is oscillatory. This completes the proof. We can apply the results established in 14] to obtain the following corollary.

If σ α n 1 s q s ds > n 1! α e when α = β.1) σ β n 1 s q s ds = when 0 < β/α < 1.) then equation 1.1) is oscillatory. Theorem.5.

Proof. Let x t be a nonoscillatory solution of Eq. 1.1), say, x t > 0 for t t 1 t 0. As in the proof of Theorem.1 we obtain.3) for t t. Next, we define w t as in the proof of Theorem.1 to obtain.4) which takes the form ) α x n 1 t w t ρ t q t +ρ t x β σ t / for t t.5) Since x n 1 t is nonincreasing on t, there exist a t 3 t positive constants b θ 1 0 <θ 1 < 1 such that x n 1 t α 1 b for t t 3,.5) holds for t t 3. Now.5) takes the form w n! t ρ t q t +b θ 1 ρ t x σ t / σ n t x β σ t / t t 3.6) But, by the Bonnet theorem for a fixed t t 3 for some ξ t 3 t, we have t t 3 ρ s x σ s / σ s / ds σ n s σ s x β σ s / ρ ) t = 3 ξ x σ s / σ s / ds σ n t 3 σ t 3 t 3 x β σ s / ρ ) t = 3 x σ ξ / w β dw σ n t 3 σ t 3 x σ t 3 /

Let x t be a nonoscillatory solution of Eq. 1.1), say, x t > 0 for t t 1 t 0. As in the proof of Theorem.5 we take ρ t =1 obtain x n 1 t ) α t q s ds x β σ t / <

Thus, for t t 3, ) θ ) 1/α 1 n! σn t σ t q s ds θ 1 n! σn t σ x n 1 t t x β/α σ t / x σ t / σ t / x β/α σ t / Integrating the above inequality from t 3 to t, weget θ t 1/α t 1 σ n s σ x s q u du) σ s / σ s / ds ds n! t 3 s t 3 x β/α σ s / t = x σ t / x σ t 3 / w β/α dw α β α x α β /α σ t 3 / < which contradicts condition.8). This completes the proof. Example.3. The equation ) x n 1 t α 1 x n 1 t + t n 1 α 1 x γt β sgn x g t = 0 t t 0 > 0 which α β γ are positive constants, β>α γ 1, is oscillatory by Theorem SOME EXTENSIONS Here we shall extend our results of Section to Eqs. 1.3) 1.4). For Eq. 1.3) when the function f need not be monotonic we need the following notations a lemma due to Mahfoud 16], { t0 t t0 = 0 if t 0 > if t 0 = 0,
13 C B t0 oscillation criteria 613 C = f is continuous xf x > 0 for x 0 = { f C f is of bounded variation on any interval a b t0 } Lemma 3.1. Suppose t 0 > 0 f C. Then, f C B t0 if only if f x =H x G x for all x t0, where G t0 + = 0 is nondecreasing on t 0 nonincreasing on t 0, H t0 is nondecreasing on t0. To obtain an extension, we assume that f C t0 t 0 0 let G H be a pair of continuous components of f with H being the nondecreasing one. Also, we assume that H x sgn x x β for x 0 β>0 is a constant 3.1) As in Section, if x t is a nonoscillatory solution of Eq. 1.3), say, x t > 0 for t t 1 t 0, then there exists a t t 1 such that.3) holds for all t t. Next, there exist a t 3 t a constant b>0 such that x n 1 t b for t t 3 3.) Integrating 3.) n 1 times, there exist a t 4 t 3 a positive constant K>0 such that Now it follows from Eq. 1.3) that x g t Kg n 1 t for t t 4 3.3) 0 = d dt x n 1 t ) α + q t G x g t H x g t d dt x n 1 t ) α) + q t G x g t x β g t d x n 1 t ) α) + q t G Kg n 1 t x β σ t dt for t t 4 3.4) where σ C 1 t 0 + σ t inf t g t as t σ t 0 for t t 0 3.5) Integrating the above inequality from t to u t 4 t u letting u, we obtain 1/α x n 1 t q s G K g n 1 s x β σ s ds) t
14 614 agarwal, grace, o regan Following similar steps as in the proof of Lemma.1 in 13], we find that if inequality 3.4) has an eventually positive solution, then so does the equation d y n 1 t ) α + q t G Kg n 1 t y β σ t = 0 3.6) dt Thus, to extend the results of Section, we shall need to apply the following theorem. Theorem 3.1. Assume that f C t0 t 0 0, let G H be a pair of continuous components of f with H being the nondecreasing one. Moreover, assume that conditions 3.1) 3.5) hold. If, for every K>0, the equation x t n 1 α 1 x t ) n 1 + q t G Kg n 1 t x σ t β 1 x σ t = 0 is oscillatory, then Eq. 1.3) is also oscillatory. We note that Theorem 3.1 together with the results of Section can be applied to equations of type 1.3) with f being any of the following functions: i) ii) iii) f x = x β 1 x/ 1 + x γ β γ are positive constants, f x = x β 1 x exp x γ β γ are positive constants, f x = x β 1 x sech x β is a positive constant. However, the results of Section are not applicable to Eq. 1.3) with any one of the above choices of f. Next, we shall extend the results of Section to neutral equations of type 1.4). In fact, if we define z t =x t +p t x τ t, then Eq. 1.4) becomes z n 1 t α 1 z n 1 t ) + F t x g t = 0 3.7) Now if x t is a nonoscillatory solution of Eq. 1.4), say, x t > 0 x τ t > 0 for t t 1 t 0 Then, z t > 0 for t t 1 there exists a t t 1 such that z n 1 t > 0 z t > 0 for t t. In what follows we shall examine the following two cases for τ t p t : i) ii) 0 p t 1 τ t <t p t 1 τ t >t. For case i), we assume that 0 p t 1 τ t <t τ t is strictly increasing for t t 0 p t 1 eventually. 3.8)

Let conditions 1.), 3.5), 3.8) hold. If the equation y n 1 t α 1 y n 1 t ) + q t 1 p g t β y σ t β 1 y σ t = 0 is oscillatory, then Eq. 1.4) is also oscillatory. For case ii), we assume that p t 1 p t 1 eventually, τ t >t τ t is strictly increasing for t t 0 3.1) there exists σ t C 1 t 0 + such that σ t inf t τ 1 og t as t σ t 0 for t t ) where τ 1 is the inverse function of τ. We also let ) P 1 1 t = 1 p τ 1 t p τ 1 τ 1 t for all large t

Let conditions 1.), 3.1), 3.13) hold. If the equation y n 1 t α 1 y n 1 t ) + q t P g t β y σ t β 1 y σ t = 0 is oscillatory, then Eq. 1.4) is also oscillatory. Remark 3.1. Further extensions to equations of the form x t +p t x τ t n 1 α 1 x t +p t x τ t 0 n 1 ) + q t f x g t = 0 where f need not be monotonic, can be obtained easily by Theorems Example 3.1.

17 oscillation criteria FURTHER OSCILLATION CRITERIA Our first oscillatory criterion for the equation 1.5) is embodied in the following theorem. Theorem 4.1. Let condition 1.6) hold, h t g t t for t t 0.If for every θ i 0 <θ i < 1 i= 1 the equations ] y θ t + 1 h t n λ H t q t y h t λ/α sgn y h t n 1 β n! λ = 0 4.1) ] ] z θ t + t h t n λ H t q t t + h t λ/α n n! λ z ] t + h t sgn z = 0 4.) where λ = β + µ α H t = h t β h t λ are oscillatory, then Eq. 1.5) is oscillatory. Proof. Let x t be a nonoscillatory solution of Eq. 1.5), say, x t > 0 for t t 1 t 0. It is easy to check that there exists a t t 1 such that x n 1 t > 0 x t > 0 for t t. We distinguish the following two cases: I) x n 1 t > 0 x t > 0 x t > 0 for t t, II) x n 1 t > 0 x t < 0 x t > 0 for t t. Assume I) holds. By Lemma. there exist a t 3 t b i > 0 0 < b i < 1 i= 1 such that, for t t 3, x g t x h t b 1 n 1! hn 1 t x n 1 h t 4.3) d dt x h t = x h t h b t n! hn t h t x n 1 h t 4.4) Using conditions 1.6), 4.3), 4.4) in Eq. 1.5), we get d x n 1 t ) ) α b β ) + 1 b µ h n λ t H t q t dt n 1! n! x n 1 h t ) λ 0 for t t3

Hence, by Theorem 1 in 17], there exists a positive solution y t of Eq. 1.5) with y t 0ast. But this contradicts the assumption that Eq. 4.1) is oscillatory. Assume II) holds. By Lemma. there exists a T 1 t 1 a constant a 0 <a<1 such that x g t x h t ah t x h t for t T 1 4.6) Using conditions 1.6) 4.6) in Eq. 1.5) setting v t =x t for t T 1, we obtain d v n t ) α + a β H t q t v λ h t 0 for t T dt 1 4.7) It is clear that function v t satisfies 1 i v i t > 0 i = 0 1 n t T 1 4.8) Now by Lemma..4 in ], there exists a T T 1 such that t h t n ] ] t + h t v h t v n for n n!

19 oscillation criteria 619 Now applying the results established in 14] to Theorem 4.1, we obtain Corollary4.1. t t 0.If Let condition 1.6) hold, let h t g t t for I 1 t lim inf h n α s H s q s ds > n 1 β n! α t h t e t lim inf s h s n α H s q s ds > n n! α t t+h t / e are satisfied when λ = β + µ = α, I h n λ s H s q s ds = s h s n λ H s q s ds = hold when λ<α, then Eq. 1.5) is oscillatory. Next we shall provide sufficient conditions for the oscillation of Eq. 1.5) when β α µ α. Theorem 4.. Let condition 1.6) hold, let g t t g t 0 for t t 0. If for every positive constant θ i i= 1 the equations ] y θ t + 1 h t µ g n 1 β t q t y g t β/α n 1! β sgn y g t = ) ] z θ t + n n! t µ h t n µ h t µ q t t + h t µ/α z ] t + h t sgn z = 0 4.1) are oscillatory, then Eq. 1.5) is oscillatory.
20 60 agarwal, grace, o regan Proof. Let x t be a nonoscillatory solution of Eq. 1.5), say x t > 0 for t t 1 t 0. As in Theorem 4.1, we have cases I) II) for t t. Assume I) holds. Then there exist a t 3 t positive constants a b such that x g t d dt x h t ah t for t t ) b n 1! gn 1 t x n 1 g t for t t ) Using conditions 1.6), 4.13), 4.14) in Eq. 1.5), we obtain w a µ b β ] t + h t µ g n 1 β t q t w β/α g t 0 for t t n 1! β 3 where w t = x n 1 t α t t 3. Now proceeding as in the proof of Theorem 4.1I), we arrive at the desired contradiction. Assume II) holds. Then there exist a T t 1 a positive constant a 1 such that 4.9) holds, Thus 4.10) takes the form w a β 1 t + n n! µ 0 x g t a 1 for t T 4.15) ] for t T t h t n µ h t µ q t w µ/α t + h t The rest of the proof is similar to that of Theorem 4.1II) hence is omitted. The following result provides sufficient conditions for the oscillation of Eq. 1.5) when β µ are arbitrary positive constants. Theorem 4.3. Let condition 1.6) hold, let g t t g t 0 for t t 0. If for every positive constant θ 1 θ the equation y t n 1 α 1 y t ) n 1 +θ1 h t µ q t y g t β sgn y g t =0 4.16) is oscillatory, every bounded solution of the equation z t n α 1 z t ) n +θ h t µ q t z h t µ sgn z h t =0 4.17) is oscillatory, then Eq. 1.5) is oscillatory. ]
21 oscillation criteria 61 Proof. Let x t be a nonoscillatory solution of Eq. 1.5), say, x t > 0 for t t 1 t 0. As in the proof of Theorem 4.1 we consider cases I) II). In case I) inequality 4.13) holds for t t 3. Thus, Eq. 1.5) leads to d x n 1 t ) α + a µ h t µ q t x β g t 0 for t t dt 3 Using an argument presented in Section 3, we find that the equation d x n 1 t ) α + a µ h t µ q t x β g t = 0 dt has a positive solution, which is a contradiction. If II) holds, then 4.15) is satisfied for t T t 1, hence we have d v n t ) α β + a 1 dt t µ q t v β h t 0 for t T 4.18) where v t =x t 4.8) holds for t T. Integrating inequality 4.18) n 1 times from t T to u, using 4.8), letting u,wefind v t a β s t n 3 1/α 1 h τ µ q τ v h τ dτ) β ds t n 3! s Now following similar steps of the proof of Theorem 1 in 17], we conclude that Eq. 4.17) has a solution z t with lim t z t =0, which is a contradiction. This completes the proof. Example 4.1. Consider the equation x n 1 t ) α 1 x n 1 x t ] β d t ] t + q t dt x µ t ] sgn x = ) where q t C t 0 + α β, µ are positive constants. Let β α µ α. Then, by Theorem 4., Eq. 4.19) is oscillatory if for every positive constant θ 1 θ the equations ] y θ t + 1 t n 1 β t ] ] β/α t q t y sgn y = 0 µ n 1 n 1! β ] z θ t + t n µ q t z n 3 n! µ 3t 4 ] ] µ/α t sgn z = 0 are oscillatory. We also note that Eq. 4.19) is oscillatory if we take q t = t n k 0 <k<1 when α = β = µ, when β<α µ<α. q t = 1 t min t n 1 β t n µ t > 1
