Abstract

This paper concerns the oscillation of solutions of the second order nonlinear dynamic equation with p-Laplacian and damping
(r(t)φα(xΔ(t))Δ+ p (t)φα(xΔα(t)+ q(t)f (xα(t)) = 0
on a time scale T which is unbounded above. Sign changes are allowed for the coefficient functions r, p and q. Several examples are given to illustrate the main results.
