Oscillation criteria for second order nonlinear forced impulsive differential equations with damping term under variable delay

Abstract

In this paper, the oscillation criteria for second order nonlinear forced impulsive differential equations with damping term under variable delay are studied. We use arithmetic-geometric mean inequality, Riccati transformation to obtain the oscillation criteria. In literature there are no results for second order impulsive differential equations involving damping term with variable delay. The results obtained in this paper extend some of the existing result. An example is provided to illustrate the main result.
