Abstract:

Some oscillation and boundedness criteria for solutions to certain first and second order forced dynamic equations with mixed nonlinearities are established. The main tool in the proofs is an inequality due to Hardy, Littlewood and Pólya. The obtained results can be applied to differential equations, difference equations and q-difference equations. The results are illustrated with numerous examples.
