Abstract

First, two comparison theorems are established between the first order delay differential equation

and two related second order ordinary differential equations in the case when

formula here

Next, by using these comparison theorems some new oscillation and non-oscillation criteria are given for (*) under condition (**). As a consequence, an open problem by Elbert and Stavroulakis is completely solved.
