Consider the neutral delay differential equation (∗)(d dt)[y (t)+ py (t− τ)]+ qy (t− σ)= 0, t⩾ t 0, where τ, q, and σ are positive constants, while p ϵ (−∞,− 1)∪(0,+∞).(For the case p ϵ [− 1, 0] see Ladas and Sficas, Oscillations of neutral delay differential equations (to appear)). The following results are then proved. Theorem 1. Assume p<− 1. Then every nonoscillatory solution y (t) of Eq.(∗) tends to±∞ as t→∞. Theorem 2. Assume p<− 1, τ> σ, and q (σ− τ)(1+ p)>(1 e). Then every solution of Eq.(∗) oscillates. Theorems 3. Assume p> 0. Then every nonoscillatory solution y (t) of Eq.(∗) tends to zero as t→∞. Theorem 4. Assume p> 0. Then a necessary condition for all solutions of Eq.(∗) to oscillate is that σ> τ. Theorem 5. Assume p> 0, σ> τ, and q (σ− τ)(1+ p)>(1 e). Then every solution of Eq.(∗) oscillates. Extensions of these results to equations with variable coefficients are also obtained.
