    Abstract: Oscillation criteria for a class of second order neutral delay differential equations of the form [c(t)((x(t)+p(t)x(t-τ))^' )^α ]^'+q(t)f(x(t-σ) )=0,t≥t_0 is studied. By using first and second mean value theorem of integrals, the new sufficient condition is obtained and the corresponding result what was already obtained is generalized by the result... Show More

    Abstract: Richrads growth equation being a generalized logistic growth equation was improved upon by introducing an allometric parameter using the hyperbolic sine function. The integral solution to this was called hyperbolic Richards growth model having transformed the solution from deterministic to a stochastic growth model. Its ability in model prediction ...

    Abstract: Topology may be considered as an abstract study of the limit point concept. As such, it stems in part from recognition of the fact that many important mathematical topics depend entirely upon the properties of limit points. This study shows that compactness implies limit point compactness but not conversely and every compact space is locally compac... Show More
