1. INTRODUCTION
First order Neutral Delay Difference Equation is gaining interest because they are the discrete
analogue of differential Equations. In recent years, several papers on oscillation of solutions of
Neutral Delay Difference Equations have appeared. [3] S.S. Cheng and Y.Z. Lin (Lin, 1998)
have provided a complete characterization of oscillation solutions of first order Neutral Delay
Difference Equations with positive coefficient in the Neutral term. [6] John R.Graef,
R.Savithri, E.Thandapani (John R. Graef, 2004) have analyzed the non-oscillatory solutions
of first order Neutral Delay Differential Equations with positive coefficient in the Neutral
term. [4]Elmetwally M.Elabbasy, Taher S.Hassan, Samir H.Saker (Elmetwally M. Elabbasy,
2005) have provided oscillatory solutions of first order Neutral Delay Differential Equations
with negative coefficient in the Neutral term.

Some Properties on the Global Behaviour of First Order Neutral Delay Difference Equation with
Positive and Negative Coefficient in the Neutral Term
[8]Ozkan Ocalan extensively discuss the problem of Oscillation of neutral differential
equation with positive and negative coefficients, J.Math.Anal.Appl. 33(1), 2007, 644-654.
[9]Tanaka, S. (2002) discussed the various Solutions of Oscillation First order Neutral
Delay Differential Equations.
Here some oscillation results in difference equations based on the existence results of
differential equations are provided. Examples are provided to illustrate the results.
Section I
In this section some criteria for oscillatory behavior of first order Neutral Delay Difference
Equation,
( xn + pn xn−k ) + qn f ( xn−l ) = 0
(1.1)
Is obtained where k,l > 0 , {pn}, {qn} are positive sequences.
The following assumptions has been made to prove the results:
H1: f (u) is an increasing function and u f (u) > 0
H2: There exists a function w such that w (u) > 0 for u > 0 and w (u) f (v) > f(u v).
H3: φ (u) is an increasing function such that u φ(u) > 0 and |φ(u+v)|<|f(u)+f(v)|
2. EXISTENCE OF OSCILLATORY SOLUTIONS
Theorem 1.1 Every solution of the equation (1.1) is oscillatory if there exists a constant λn such
that 0 < λn < 1 for some n ≥ n0 and the difference inequality
Δzn+Qn φ(zn-l+k) ≤ 0

Proof
Suppose to the contrary that there is a non-oscillatory solution {xn} of (1.1). Suppose that
xn > 0 for all n ≥ n0.
Let yn= xn + pn xn-k.
Then by the equation (1.1),
Δyn = -qnf(xn-l) < 0
yn+1 < yn, yn is a decreasing function, yn+1-yn = -qn f (xn-l)
yn+1+ qn f (xn-l) = yn

and

,
Hence we say that {xn }is an oscillatory solution of the equation (1.1).
Theorem 1.2
Δyn + qn f
Every solution of the equation (1.1) is oscillatory, if it satisfies the condition
(1 − n ) P }, and
(xn-l ) ≤ 0, where yn = xn + pn f(xn-k) and Qn = min{ λn pn ,
if there exists

a function  such that  (u ) > 0, for u > 0 and f(u)=u,
f (uv )
 n −l
≤
 (u ) f (v ) and f (uv) ≥ uv,
λ n is positive constant.
Proof
Suppose {xn} is a non-oscillatory solution. Let xn > 0 and let us assume {xn} is eventually
positive. Let yn = xn + pn f(xn-k)
yn = xn + pn f(xn-k)
> pn f(xn-k)
Hence yn > pn f(xn-k)
= λn pn f(xn-k) + (1-λn ) pn f(xn-k)
> Qn f(xn-k) + Qn f(xn-k)  n-l+k
> Qn f(xn-k) + Qn f(xn-k xn-l+k)
> Qn f(xn-k) + xn-k xn-l+k > 0
Since yn > 0, Δyn > 0
i.e, Δyn + qn f(xn-l) > 0, yn > 0
This contradicts our assumption. Hence {xn} is an oscillatory solution.
Theorem 1.3
If lim ∑qn > 0, and {xn}is an eventually positive solution of

Δ(xn + pn xn-k) + qn f(xn-l) = 0,

Proof:
Equation (1.4) becomes,
Δzn + qn f(xn-l) = 0
Δzn = -qn f(xn-l) < 0
zn+1-zn < 0
zn+1 < zn
Hence zn is decreasing.
From the equation (1.5) ,
pn xn-k = zn - xn
(1.6)
zn+k = xn+k + pn xn
(1.7)
From the equation (1.5),
Since zn is decreasing
zn > zn+k ≥ pn xn
From the equation(1.6),
pn2 xn-k= pn zn - pn xn (multiplying by pn)
(1.8)
pn xn = zn+k - xn+k
p x z

Substituting inthe equation (1.8) ,

3. SOME OSCILLATORY RESULTS
Theorem 2.1
Every solution of the equation (2.3) is oscillatory if k, l, p n , q n > 0
Proof
Case 1
Suppose { x n }is a non oscillatory solution of equation (2.3) ,
let x n >0 and { xn } is eventually positive, xn −1 < x n

Which is a contradiction. Since p n is positive and x n −l is eventually positive.
Hence equation (2.3) has a oscillatory solution.

Which is a contradiction, since p n is positive and x n −l is eventually negative solution.
Hence equation (2.3) has an oscillatory solution.
4. Some Non oscillatory results
Theorem 2.2
(n
Let {xn} be an eventually positive solution of  x − q x
n n−k
)+ pn xn − l = 0 ,
xn > 0 and
let z n = x n -q n x n− k
(2.4)
Assume k,l > 0, p n ,q n > 0. Then z n is eventually non increasing positive function.
Proof
From the equation (2.3),
Δz n = -p n x n− l < 0
z n +1 - z n < 0
z n +1 < z n
Hence z n is eventually non increasing positive function.
Theorem 2.3
Every non oscillatory solution of the equation (2.3) converges to zero monotonically for large
n as n→∞ if k, l > 0, q n > 0, p n > 0.
Proof
Suppose {x n }is a non-oscillatory solution of (2.3). Let us assume {x n } is eventually positive
(if x n is eventually negative, the proof is similar).
Hence from the theorem 2.2, z n is eventually non increasing positive function.
From equation (2.4),

xn ≥ zn
Here
zn = α ≥ 0
lim x n ≥ lim
n →
n →
If α > 0, then from the equation (2.3),
pn xn−l < 0
z n →-∞, which contradicts that z n is positive function.
Δz n = -
Hence
lim
n →
Hence we take α = 0, therefore
lim
x n = 0.
n→
Hence every non oscillatory solution of the equation (2.3) converges to zero monotonically
as n→∞.
