New oscillation criteria are established for second-order mixed-nonlinear delay dynamic equations on time scales by utilizing an interval averaging technique. No restriction is imposed on the coefficient functions and the forcing term to be nonnegative. 1. Introduction In this paper we are concerned with oscillatory behavior of the second-order nonlinear delay dynamic equation of the form r tx Δ t Δ p 0 txτ 0 t n i1 p i t|xτ i t| α i -1 xτ i t et, t ≥ t 0 1.1 on an arbitrary time scale T, where α 1 >α 2 > ··· >α m > 1 >α m1 > ··· >α n > 0, n>m ≥ 1; 1.2 the functions r , p i , e: T → R are right-dense continuous with r> 0 nondecreasing; the delay functions τ i : T → T are nondecreasing right-dense continuous and satisfy τ i t ≤ t for t ∈ T with τ i t →∞ as t →∞. We assume that the time scale T is unbounded above, that is, sup T ∞ and define the time scale interval t 0 , ∞ T by t 0 , ∞ T :t 0 , ∞ ∩ T. It is also assumed that the reader is already familiar with the time scale calculus. A comprehensive treatment of calculus on time scales can be found in 1–3.
