Abstract

In this paper, we consider the higher order nonlinear neutral delay difference equation of the form $\Delta^{\gamma}(x_{n}+px_{n-\gamma})+f(n, x_{n-\sigma_1(n)}, x_{n-\sigma_2(n)}, \ldots, x_{n-\sigma{_m}(n)})=0$. We give an integrated classification of nonoscillatory solutions of the above equation according to their asymptotic behaviours. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of nonoscillatory solutions with designated asymptotic properties are also established.
