The goal of the present study is to characterize solutions under a travelling wave formulation to a degenerate Fisher-KPP problem. With the degenerate problem, we refer to the following: a heterogeneous diffusion that is formulated with a high order operator; a non-linear advection and non-Lipstchitz spatially heterogeneous reaction. The paper examines the existence of solutions, uniqueness and travelling wave oscillatory properties (also called instabilities). Such oscillatory behaviour may lead to negative solutions in the proximity of zero. A numerical exploration is provided with the following main finding to declare: the solutions keeps oscillating in the proximity of the null stationary solution due to the high order operator, except if the reaction term is quasi-Lipschitz, in which it is possible to define a region where solutions are positive locally in time.

The distance between successive zeros of all solutions of first-order differential equations with several delays is studied in this work. Many new estimations for the upper bound of the distance between zeros are obtained. Our results improve many-well known results in the literature. We also obtain some fundamental results for the lower bound of the distance between adjacent zeros. Some illustrative examples are introduced to show the accuracy and efficiency of the obtained results. Full article

In this paper, we study oscillation and asymptotic properties for half-linear second order differential equations with mixed argument of the form

{(r (t) {(y^{'} (t))}^{α})}^{'} = p (t) y^{α} (τ (t)) .

Such differential equation may possesses two types of nonoscillatory solutions either from the class

N_{0}

(positive decreasing solutions) or

N_{2}

(positive increasing solutions). We establish new criteria for

N_{0} = \emptyset

and

N_{2} = \emptyset

provided that delayed and advanced parts of deviating argument are large enough. As a consequence of these results, we provide new oscillatory criteria. The presented results essentially improve existing ones even for a linear case of considered equations. Full article

In this paper, new oscillation criteria for second-order half-linear neutral delay differential equations are established, using a recently developed method of iteratively improved monotonicity properties of a nonoscillatory solution. Our approach allows removing several disadvantages which were commonly associated with the method based on a priori bound for the nonoscillatory solution, and deriving new results which are optimal in a nonneutral case. It is shown that the newly obtained results significantly improve a large number of existing ones. Full article

The neutral delay differential equations have many applications in the natural sciences, technology, and population dynamics. In this paper, we establish several new oscillation criteria for a kind of even-order quasi-linear neutral delay differential equations. Comparing our results with those in the literature, our criteria solve more general delay differential equations with neutral type, and our results expand the range of neutral term coefficient. Some examples are given to illustrate our conclusions. Full article

In this paper, effective oscillation criteria for third-order delay differential equations of the form,

{(r_{2} {(r_{1} y^{'})}^{'})}^{'} (t) + q (t) y (τ (t)) = 0

ensuring that any nonoscillatory solution tends to zero asymptotically, are established. The results become sharp when applied to a Euler-type delay differential equation and, to the best of our knowledge, improve all existing results from the literature. Examples are provided to illustrate the importance of the main results. Full article
