Synopsis

This paper is concerned with the effect of the delays on the bounded solutions of the nth order n ≧ 1) differential equation

Sufficient conditions involving the retardations τJ(j = 1,2, …, m) which insure that every bounded solution of the considered equation is oscillatory are given. The results obtained generalise recent ones in [3 and 4].
