Abstract

By means of generalized Riccati transformation techniques and generalized exponential functions, some oscillation criteria are given for the nonlinear dynamic equation \[ (p(t)x^{\Delta} (t))^{\Delta}+q(t)(f\circ x^{\sigma})=0 \] on time scales. The results are also applied to linear and nonlinear dynamic equations with damping, and some sufficient conditions are obtained for the oscillation of all solutions.
