Résumé

Sufficient conditions are obtained so that every solution of $$ [y(t) - p(t) y(t-\tau )]^{(n)} + Q(t) G (y(t-\sigma )) = f(t) $$ where $n\ge 2$, $p, f\in C([0, \infty ), {{\mathbb R}})$, $Q \in C ([0, \infty ), [0, \infty ))$, $G \in C({{\mathbb R}}, {{\mathbb R}}), \tau > 0$ and $\sigma \ge 0$, oscillates or tends to zero as $t\to \infty $. Various ranges of $p(t)$ are considered. In order to accommodate sublinear cases, it is assumed that $\int _0^{\infty }Q(t)\, dt=\infty $. Through examples it is shown that if the condition on $Q$ is weakened, then there are sublinear equations whose solutions tend to $\pm \infty $ as $t\to \infty $.
