Consider the n-th order delay differential equation

In the last few years, the oscillatory behavior of delay differential equations has been the subject of intensive investigations. But much less is known about the equation (A) with small forcing term q(t). The only papers devoted to this problem are by Kartsatos, Kusano, and the present author. The purpose of this paper is to prove some new oscillation theorems which contain the previous results.
