New Monotonic Properties for Solutions of a Class of Functional Differential Equations and Their Applications.

This paper delves into the enhancement of asymptotic and oscillatory behaviors in solutions to even-order neutral differential equations with multiple delays. The main objective is to establish improved inequalities to advance the understanding of oscillation theory for these equations. The paper's approach is centered on improving the understanding of the intricate relationship between solutions and their corresponding functions. This is achieved by harnessing the modified monotonic properties of positive solutions, which provide valuable insights into oscillation behavior. Furthermore, leveraging the symmetry between positive and negative solutions, we derived criteria that ensure oscillation for all solutions, with a specific emphasis on excluding only positive solutions. To illustrate the significance of our findings, we provide an illustrative example. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
