Abstract
We consider difference equations with a single delay term and obtain sufficient conditions for both oscillation and nonoscillation. Moreover, our nonoscillation theorem improves the affirmative answer to Ladas' corrected conjecture given by Tang and Yu in [Comput. Math. Appl. 38(11-12) (1999), pp. 229-237]. We also present a detailed discussion with examples to emphasize the significance and the sharpness of the new results.
