On the oscillation and asymptotic behavior of solutions of third order nonlinear differential equations with mixed nonlinear neutral terms.

This paper is concerned with the oscillation and asymptotic behavior of solutions of third-order nonlinear neutral differential equations with a middle term and mixed nonlinear neutral terms in the case of the canonical operator. We establish several oscillation criteria that guarantee that all solutions are oscillatory or converge to zero. The given results are obtained by applying the comparison method, the Riccati transformation and the integral averaging technique. The results improve significantly and extend existing ones in the literature. Finally, illustrative examples are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
