Itroductio Cosider the oliear third order differece equatio (a ( (b x )) α ) p f(x σ() ) = 0, 0, () where 0 is a oegative iteger, where α is quotiet of odd positive itegers, a }, b } ad p } are positive real sequeces, ad ijpam.eu 352 207
σ()} is a odecreasig sequece of itegers with σ() for all 0, f is a real valued cotiuous odecreasig fuctio, uf(u) > 0 for u 0, ad f(uv) f(u)f(v) for uv > 0, ad = 0 a /α = = 0 b =. By a solutio of equatio (), we mea a real sequece x } which is defied for all 0 ad satisfies equatio (). A otrivial solutio of equatio () is called ooscillatory if it is either evetually positive or evetually egative, ad otherwise it is called oscillatory. The study of oscillatory properties of third order ad higher order liear differece equatios received less attetio, see for example, 2] ad the refereces cited therei. The ivestigatio of property B for the liear third order differece equatio 3 x p y σ() = 0 (2) with σ() = + discussed i 7]. By property B of equatio (2) it is meat that every positive solutio x } of equatio (2) is strogly icreasig, that is x > 0, 2 x 0, 3 x 0. I 3 6], the authors preseted sharp criteria for the qualitative properties of solutios of third order differece equatios with delay argumet. I this paper, we exted the techique that yields property B of equatio (2) to equatio (). Thus the results essetially improve ad complemet may kow results for both delay ad ordiary differece equatios. 2 Prelimiary Results I this sectio, first we classify the possible ooscillatory solutios of equatio () which follows from the discrete Keser s theorem ]. We itroduce the followig classes of ooscillatory (let us say positive) solutios of equatio (): x S x > 0, (b x ) < 0, (a (b x )) > 0, ad x S 3 x > 0, (b x ) > 0, (a (b x )) > 0, for all N 0. ijpam.eu 353 207
Lemma. Assume that x } is a evetually positive solutio of equatio (), the x } S or x } S 3. I the followig we derive some importat mootoic properties ad estimates of ooscillatory solutios, that will be used i the mai results. Deote A = ad P = Lemma 2.

If x } S be a positive solutio of equatio (), the x B } is evetually decreasig. The proof of last two lemmas are similar to that of i 6]. 3 Criteria for Property B I this sectio, we provide several criteria for the class S of equatio () to be empty. If u Theorem 4. Assume that lim u ± = k f /α (u) <, ad ] /α p t =, (4) b a /α s f /α ( σ() + t=s ) f /α (B σ(s) )B s+ P s B s+ P s + =σ() P > k ijpam.eu 354 207
the equatio () has property B. Proof. Assume equatio () has a positive solutio x } S for all N. Summatio of equatio () from to twice yields b x a /α /α p s f(x σ(s) )] = f /α (x σ() )P, where we have used the mootoicity of f. Summig agai from N to, ad the chagig the order of summatio we have x f /α (x σ(s) )P s B s+ + B f /α (x σ(s) )P s. Usig the mootoicities of x } ad x B }, we obtai x σ() f /α (x σ() ) ( ) f /α f /α (B σ(s) )P s B s+ σ() + P s B s+ + s=σ() P s. (5) From the assumptio (4), we see that x as. Takig as o both sides of the iequality (5), we get a cotradictio ad the proof is ow complete. Theorem 5. Assume that lim u 0 u f /α (u) = k 2 <, ad a /α /α p s f(b σ(s) )] =, (6) If + f /α ( ) f /α (B σ(s) )B s+ P s σ() B s+ P s + f /α ( ) =σ() P > k 2, the equatio () has property B. ijpam.eu 355 207
Proof. Assume that x } is a evetually positive solutio of equatio () such that x } S for N. By Lemma 3, the sequece x B } is decreasig ad we shall show that (6) implies If ot, the lim x B f(x σ() ) = f x lim = 0. (7) B = d > 0. The x B d ad therefore ( ) xσ() f(d)f( ). Further, summig equatio () twice yields b N x N a /α /α p s f(x σ(s) )] f(d) a /α /α p s f(b σ(s) )], which cotradicts (6), ad we coclude that (7) holds. Set z = x σ(), coditio (5) implies z f /α (z ) f /α (B σ(s) )P s B s+ + f /α ( ) +f /α ( ) s=σ() σ() P s B s+ P s. (8) Takig as i (8), we have a cotradictio with the assumptios of the theorem. The proof is ow complete. Corollary 6. B β/α σ() Let coditio (4) holds ad σ() B β/α σ(s) B s+p s + the the superliear differece equatio has property B. B s+ P s + =σ() (a ( (b x )) α ) p x β σ() = 0, β > α (9) P > 0 ijpam.eu 356 207
Corollary 7. B σ() Let coditio (4) holds ad σ() B σ(s) B s+ P s + the the halfliear differece equatio has property B. Corollary 8. B s+ P s + s=σ() (a ( (b x )) α ) p x α σ() = 0 (0) Let coditio (4) holds ad B β/α σ(s) B s+p s the the subliear differece equatio has property B. + Bβ/α σ() σ() B s+ P s + B β/α σ(s) P s > =σ() (a ( (b x )) α ) p x β σ() = 0, α > β () P > 0 4 Oscillatio Results I this sectio, we preset oscillatio criteria for equatio (). Theorem 9. Let coditio (3) holds. Assume that lim u ± u f /α (u) = k 3 <. (2) If σ() C σ() b s t=s a /α t the the class S 3 = ϕ for equatio (). /α p j f(c σ(j) )] > k 3, j=t ijpam.eu 357 207
Proof. Assume that equatio () has a evetually positive solutio x } S 3 for N. Summig () from to s yields ( (b s x s )) α s p t f a s t= ( ) ( ) xσ(t) xσ(t) C σ(t) f C σ(t) C σ(t) a s s p t Summig the last iequality twice i s, ad the settig s = σ() ad z = x σ() C σ(), we obtai z f /α (z ) C σ() σ() t= b t j=t a /α j ( i=j ) /α p i. Takig as o both sides of the last iequality, we get a cotradictio ad this completes the proof. By usig S ad S 3 are empty we have the followig theorem. Theorem 0. Let all coditios of Theorem 4 (Theorem 5) ad Theorem 9 are hold. The every solutio of equatio () is oscillatory. 5 Examples I this sectio we preset three examples to illustrate the mai results.

I fact x } = ( ) } is oe such oscillatory solutio of (3). Example 5.2. ( 3 ( ( x )) 3 ) Cosider the differece equatio ( + ) x +4 = 0,. (4) ijpam.eu 358 207
