A nontrivial olution of. i called ocillatory if it ha arbitrarily large zero, and, otherwie, it i nonocillatory.
2 ISRN Mathematical Analyi The exitence of nonocillatory olution of higher-order nonlinear neutral differential equation received much le attention, which i due mainly to the technical difficultie ariing in it analyi. In 998, Kulenovic and Hadziomerpahic invetigated the exitence of nonocillatory olution of econd-order nonlinear neutral differential equation xt cxt τ Q txt σ Q 2 txt σ 2 0, t t 0, E 0 where c i a contant. In 2006, Zhang and Wang 2 invetigated the econd neutral delay differential equation with poitive and negative coefficient: [ rtxt Ptxt τ ] Q tfxt σ Q 2 tgxt σ 2 0, t t 0, E where τ>0, σ i 0,Q,Q 2 Ct 0,,R,f,g CR, R, xfx > 0, xgx > 0, x / 0. By uing Banach contraction mapping principle, they proved the following theorem which extend the reult in. Theorem A 2, Theorem 2.3. Aume that H f and g atify local Lipchitz condition and xfx > 0, xgx > 0, forx/ 0; H 2 Q i t 0, i, 2, aq t Q 2 t i eventually nonnegative for every a>0; H 3 t t 0 t 0 Q i t/d dt <, i, 2 hold if one of the following two condition i atified: H Pt > eventually, and 0 <P 2 P <P 2 2 <, H 5 Pt < eventually, and <P 2 P <, where P lim up t Pt, P 2 lim inf t Pt,then. ha a nonocillatory olution. In 2007, Zhou 3 tudie the exitence of nonocillatory olution of the following econd-order nonlinear differential equation. [ rtxt Ptxt τ ] Q i tf i xt σ i 0, t t 0, E where f i CR, R i, 2,...,m. By uing Kranoelkii fixed point theorem, they proved the following theorem. Theorem B 3, Theorem. Aume that there exit nonnegative contant c and c 2 uch that c c 2 <, c 2 Pt c. Further, aume that t t 0 t 0 Q i t d dt <, i, 2,...,m..2 Then. ha a bounded nonocillatory olution.
ISRN Mathematical Analyi 3 In thi paper, by uing Kranoelkii fixed point theorem and ome new technique, we obtain ome ufficient condition for the exitence of a nonocillatory olution of. for general Q i t i, 2,...,m which mean that we allow ocillatory Q i t i, 2,...,m. Meanwhile, we extend the main reult of 2, 3. 2. Main Reult The following fixed point theorem will be ued to prove the main reult in thi ection. Lemma 2. ee 3, Kranoelkii fixed point theorem. Let X be a Banach pace, let Ω be a bounded cloed convex ubet of X, and let S, S 2 be map of Ω into X uch that S x S 2 y Ω for every pair x, y Ω.IfS i a contraction and S 2 i completely continuou, then the equation S x S 2 x x 2. ha a olution in Ω. Theorem 2.2. Aume that there exit nonnegative contant c and c 2 uch that c c 2 <, < c 2 Pt c <. Further, aume that t t 0 t 0 n 2 Q i t d dt <, i, 2,...,m. 2.2 Then. ha a bounded nonocillatory olution. Proof. By interchanging the order of integral, we note that 2.2 i equivalent to t 0 n 2 Q i t d dt <, i, 2,..., m. 2.3 By 2.3, we chooe T>t 0 ufficiently large uch that T n 2 M Q i u du d < c c 2, 2. where M max c c 2 /2x{ f i x :i m}. Let Ct 0,,R be the et of all continuou function with the norm x up t t0 xt <. Then Ct 0,,R i a Banach pace. We define a bounded, cloed, and convex ubet Ω of Ct 0,,R a follow: Ω { x xt Ct 0,,R : c c 2 xt, t t 0 }. 2.5 2

Firt, we will how that S 2 i continuou. Let x k x k t Ω be uch that x k t xt a k. Becaue Ω i cloed, x xt Ω. For t T, we have S 2 x k t S 2 xt t T n 2 n 2 Q i u fi x k u σ i f i xu σ i ) du d Q i u f i x k u σ i f i xu σ i ) du d. 2.2 Since f i x k t σ i f i xt σ i 0ak for i, 2,...,m, by applying the Lebegue dominated convergence theorem, we conclude that lim k S 2 x k t S 2 xt 0. Thi mean that S 2 i continuou. Next, we how that S 2 Ω i relatively compact. It uffice to how that the family of function {S 2 x : x Ω} i uniformly bounded and equicontinuou on t 0,. The uniform boundedne i obviou. For the equicontinuity, according to Levitan reult, weonly need to how that, for any given ε>0, T, can be decompoed into finite ubinterval in uch a way that on each ubinterval all function of the family have change of amplitude le than ε.by2.3, for any ε>0, take T T large enough o that n 2 T M Q i u du d < ε 2. 2.3 Then, for x Ω, t 2 t T, S 2 xt 2 S 2 xt t 2 n 2 Q i u fi xu σ i ) du d t n 2 n 2 t 2 t n 2 Q i u fi xu σ i M Q i u du d M Q i u du d ) du d 2. < ε 2 ε ε. 2
