Abstract
Consider the first-order retarded difference equationÎx(n)+p(n)xÏ(n)=0,nâN0where (p(n))n⩾0 is a sequence of nonnegative real numbers, and (Ï(n))n⩾0 is a sequence of integers such that Ï(n)⩽n-1, n⩾0, and limnââÏ(n)=â. Under the assumption that the retarded argument is non-monotone, a new oscillation criterion, involving liminf, is established. An example illustrates the case when the result of the paper implies oscillation while previously known results fail.
