We establish new Kamenev-type oscillation criteria for the half-linear partial differential equation with damping under quite general conditions. These results are extensions of the recent results developed by Sun [Y.G. Sun, New Kamenev-type oscillation criteria of second order nonlinear differential equations with damping, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 291 (2004) 341-351] for second order ordinary differential equations in a natural way, and improve some existing results in the literature. As applications, we illustrate our main results using two different types of half-linear partial differential equations.
By using the Riccati transformation and mathematical analytic methods,some sufficient conditions are obtained for oscillation of the second-order quasilinear neutral delay difference equations Δ[r n |Δz n | α-1 Δ z n ] + q n f (x n-σ)=0,where z n=x n + p n x n τ and ∞Σ n=0 1 /r n 1/α < ∞.
