Oscillation criteria for half-linear dynamic equations on time scales

TL;DR: In this article, the second-order half-linear delay dynamic equation (r(t)(x � )) � + p(t)x(τ(t)) = 0, on a time scale T, where γ ≥ 1 is the quotient of odd positive integers, p( t), and τ : T → T are positive rd-continuous functions on T, r(t), ρ is positive and (delta) differentiable, τ (t) ≤ t, and limt→∞ τ(τ) = ∞.
