Abstract

In this paper, we consider the existence of nonoscillatory solutions for system of variable coefficients higher-order neutral differential equations with distributed deviating arguments. We use the Banach contraction principle to obtain new sufficient conditions for the existence of nonoscillatory solutions.

1. Introduction and Preliminary

In this paper, we consider the system of higher-order neutral differential equations with distributed deviating arguments: where is a positive integer, , , , and ; , , and ;, is continuous matrix on , , and matrix coefficients system of higher order neutral differential equations with distributed deviating arguments: where is a positive integer, , , , and ; , , and is nonsingular constant matrix; , and is continuous matrix on , .

Recently there have been a lot of activities concerning the existence of nonoscillatory solutions for neutral differential equations with positive and negative coefficients. In 2013, Candan [1] has investigated existence of nonoscillatory solutions for system of higher-order nonlinear neutral differential equations: and matrix coefficient system of higher order neutral functional differential equation: In 2012, Candan [2] studies higher-order nonlinear differential equation: has obtained sufficient conditions for the existence of nonoscillatory solutions. For related work, we refer the reader to the books [312].
