Abstract

This paper is concerned with nonoscillation of second-order neutral delay differential equation with forcing term. By using contraction mapping principle, some sufficient conditions for the existence of nonoscillatory solution are established. The criteria obtained in this paper complement and extend several known results in the literature. Some examples illustrating our main results are given.
