We establish some oscillation criteria, involving \(\lim \sup\), which achieve a marked improvement on several known conditions in the literature. Two examples, numerically solved in MAPLE software, are also given to illustrate the applicability and strength of the obtained conditions.", keywords = "oscillation, difference equations, non-monotone argument", issn = "1232-9274" }
