Forced oscillation of sublinear impulsive differential equations via nonprincipal solution

Abstract

In this paper, we give new oscillation criteria for forced sublinear impulsive differential equations of the form (r(t)x')' + q(t)vertical bar x vertical bar(gamma-1) x = f(t), t not equal theta(i); Delta r(t)x' + q(i)vertical bar x vertical bar(gamma-1) x = f(i), t = theta(i), where gamma is an element of(0, 1), under the assumption that associated homogenous linear equation (r(t)z')' + q(t)z = 0, t not equal theta(i); Delta r(t)z' + q(i)z = 0, t = theta(i). is nonoscillatory.
