By using a generalized Riccati transformation integral averaging technique, we establish some new sufficient conditions which ensure that every solution of this equation oscillates. Keywords: Oscillation, Dynamic equations, ime scales, Second-order. Introduction In this paper, we consider the second order nonlinear dynamic equation (r(t)x (t)) p(t) f(x σ (t))g(x (t))=0, () p, r real-valued, non-negative, right-dense continuous function on a time scale. It is the purpose of this paper to give oscillation criteria for equation (). hroughout this paper, we will assume the following hypotheses: (A) p,r C rd (t 0, ),R ) such that t 0 r(s) s=, (A2) g : R rd-continuous g(u) c>0, (A3) f : R is continuously differentiable satisfies u f(u)>0, k > 0, u 0. f(u) u Much recent attention has been given to dynamic equations on time scales, or measure chains, we refer the reader to the lmark paper of Hilger 2 for a comprehensive treatment of the subject. Since then, several authors have expounded on various aspects of this new theory; see the survey paper by Agarwal et al. the references cited therein. A book on the subject of time scales by Bohner Peterson 3 summarizes organizes much of the time scale calculus. In recent years there has been much research activity concerning the oscillation nonoscillation of solutions of some different equations on time scales. We refer the reader to the papers 2, 4 6, 8,. In 6, the authors consider the second order dynamic equation (p(t)x (t)) q(t)x σ (t)=0 f or t a,b give necessary sufficient conditions for oscillation of all solutions on unbounded time scales. Unfortunately, the oscillation criteria are restricted in usage since additional assumptions have to be imposed on the unknown solutions. In 0, the authors consider the same equation suppose that there exists some t 0 such that p is bounded above on t 0, ), inf{µ(t) : t t 0, )}>0 use the Riccati equation to prove that if t 0 q(t) t =, then every solution is oscillatory ont 0, ). In 5, the authors consider (p(t)x (t)) q(t)( f ox σ )=0 f or t a,b, p q are positive, real-valued rd-continuous functions.

290 M.. Şenel: Oscillation heorems for Second-Order Nonlinear... 2 Preliminary results Lemma 2.. Let x(t) be a nonoscillatory solution of () (A)-(A3) hold. hen there exist 0 such that x(t)>0, x (t)>0, (r(t)x (t)) < 0 f or t 0. Proof. Suppose that x(t) is nonoscillatory solution of () without loss of generality, assume x(t)>0 for t 0. Assume that x (t)<0 for all large t. hen without loss of generality x (t) < 0 for all t 0. If x(t) > 0, then f(x σ (t))>0. From () (r(t)x (t)) =p(t) f(x σ (t))g(x (t))<0, (r(t)x (t)) < 0. (2) Define y(t)=r(t)x (t). So y(t) is decreasing. Assume that there exist 0 with y( )=κ < 0. hen r(t)x (t)=y(t) y( )=κ f or all t therefore x (t) κ r(t) f or all t hen an integration for t > 2 gives x(t) x( 2 )κ s as t 2 r(s) which is a contradiction. Hence x (t) is not negative for all large t thus x (t)>0 for all t 0. 3 Main results heorem 3. Assume that (A)-(A3) hold. Furthermore, assume that there exist a positive real rd-functions differentiable functions such that k cz(s)p(s) 4 (z (t)) 2 z(s) then every solution of () is oscillatory. s=, (3) nonoscillatory solution of (). Without loss of generality, we may assume that x(t) > 0 for t > 0. We shall eventually negative is similar. From Lemma 2., x (t)>0 for t > 0. Define the function w(t) by the Riccati substitution w(t) := r(t)x (t), t. (4) x(t) hen w(t)>0 satisfies w (t)= (r(t)x (t)) σ x(t) x(t) (r(t)x (t)) w (t)= z (t)x(t)x (t) x(t)x σ (r(t)x (t)) σ (t) x(t) (p(t) f(xσ (t))g(x (t))). From Lemma 2., x(t)>0, x (t)>0, (r(t)x (t)) < 0 so x σ (t)>x(t), (r(t)x (t)) σ < r(t)x (t). We get w (t) z (t) wσ (t) (t)(r(t)x (t)) σ x (x σ (t)) 2 w (t) k cp(t)z (t) wσ (t) x σ (t) p(t) f(xσ (t))c (5) x (t)(w σ (t)) 2 () 2 (r(t)(x (t))) σ ) k cp(t)z (t) wσ (t) (w σ (t)) 2 () 2 r σ (t) w (t) k cp(t) r σ (t)(z (t)) 2 4 then r σ (t) (6) (7) 2 w σ (t) r σ (t) 2 z (t), w (t) k cp(t) r σ (t)(z (t)) 2. (8) 4 Integrating (8) from to t w(t)w() k cp(t) 4 k cp(t) 4 r σ (t)(z (t)) 2 r σ (t)(z (t)) 2 s, s w()w(t)<w(). aking the limsup of both sides of above inequality as t, we obtain a contradiction to condition (3). he proof is complete. Corollary 3.2. Assume that (A)-(A3) hold. If k cp(s) s=, (9) then every solution () is oscillatory. Example 3.3. Consider the dynamic equation (tx (t)) µ(t) xσ (t)((x σ (t)) 2 )((x (t)) 2 )=0, t. r(t)= t, p(t)= µ(t), f(xσ (t))=x σ (t)((x σ (t)) 2 ), g(x (t))=(x (t)) 2. If we take : i)=z σ(t)= t µ(t)= p(t)=, ii) = {2 N : n Z} {0} σ(t) = 2t µ(t) = t c 203 NSP

Assume that (A)-(A3) hold. If there is λ such that k cs λ p(s) r σ (t)((s λ ) ) 2 4 s λ s=, (0) then every solution () is oscillatory. Now, let us introduce the class of functions R which will be extensively used in the sequel. Let D 0 {(t,s) 2 : t > s t 0 } D {(t,s) 2 : t s t 0 }. he function H C rd (D,R) is said belong to the classrif (i)h(t,t)=0, t t 0, H(t,s)>0, on D 0, (ii) H has a continuous -partial derivative H s (t,s) ond 0 with respect to the second variable. (H is rd-continuous function if H is rd-continuous function in t s.) heorem 3.6. Assume that (A)-(A3) hold. Let be a positive differentiable function let H : D R be an rd-continuous function such that H belongs to the class R satisfies H(t,) C(t,s)=r σ (s)(z σ (s)b(t,s)) 2, B(t,s)=H s (t,s)h(t,s) z (s) z σ (s). k ch(t,s)z(s)p(s) 4 C(t,s) s=, () hen every solution of () is oscillatory. nonoscillatory solution of (). Without loss of generality, we may assume that x(t) > 0 for t > 0. We shall eventually negative is similar. From Lemma 2. (7), x (t)>0 for t > 0, it follows that w (t) k cp(t) z (t) wσ (t) We multiply both sides by H(t,s) to get (w σ (t)) 2 () 2 r σ (t). (2) H(t,s)w (t) k ch(t,s)p(t)h(t,s)z (t) wσ (t) (w σ (t)) 2 H(t, s) () 2 r σ (t). (3) Using the integration by parts formula, we have k ch(t,s)z(s)p(s) s H(t,t)w(t) from H(t,t)=0, we obtain k ch(t,s)z(s)p(s) s k ch(t,s)z(s)p(s) s H(t,)w() H(t,)w() Hs (t,s)w σ (s) s H(t,s)z (s) wσ (s) z σ (s) s ((w σ (s)) 2 (z σ (s)) 2 r σ (s) s H(t,)w() Hs (t,s)h(t,s) z (s) z σ w σ (s) s (s) ((w σ (s)) 2 (z σ (s)) 2 r σ (s) s, B(t,s)w σ (s) s ((w σ (s)) 2 (z σ (s)) 2 r σ (s) s. herefore, by completing the square as in heorem 3., we obtain k ch(t,s)z(s)p(s) s H(t,)w() 4 r σ (s)(z σ (s)) 2 B 2 (t,s) s Hence, we obtain w σ (s) r σ (s) z σ (s) 2 k ch(t,s)z(s)p(s) s H(t,)w() C(t,s)=r σ (s)(z σ (s)b(t,s)) 2. r σ (s) H(t,s)z(s) B(t,s)zσ (s) = H(t,)w() 2 s. 4 rσ (s)(z σ (s)b(t,s)) 2 s 4 C(t,s) s hen for all t, we have k ch(t,s)z(s)p(s) 4 C(t,s) s H(t,)w() this implies that H(t,) k ch(t,s)z(s)p(s) 4 C(t,s) s w() which contradicts (). he proof is complete. As consequences of heorem 3.6 we get the following. Corollary 3.7. Suppose that the assumptions of heorem 3.6 hold.
