This article presents new oscillation criteria for the second-order delay differential equation (p(t)(x′(t))alpha)′+q(t)xalpha(t−au)+sumi=1nqi(t)xalphai(t−au)=e(t) where augeq0, p(t)inC1[0,infty), q(t),qi(t),e(t)inC[0,infty), p(t)>0, alpha1>dots>alpham>alpha>alpham+1>dots>alphan>0(n>mgeq1), alpha1,dots,alphan and alpha are ratio of odd positive integers. Without assuming that q(t),qi(t) and e(t) are nonnegative, the results in [6,8] have been extended and a mistake in the proof of the results in [3] is corrected
In this paper, we develop a new technique to deduce oscillation of a second-order noncanonical advanced differential equation by using established criteria for second-order canonical advanced differential equations. We illustrate our results by presenting two examples
