Abstract

The oscillation criteria are investigated for all solutions of even-order neutral differential equations. The obtained results are based on the new comparison theorems, that enable us to reduce the problem of the oscillation of the higher order equation to the oscillation of the first order equation. The obtained comparison principles essentially simplify the examination of the studied equations.
