Abstract
We study a scalar delay differential equation with a bounded distributed delay,
ẋ(t) + ∫th(t) x(s) dsR(t, s) - ∫tg(t) x(s) d<sub>s</sub> T (t, s) = 0,
where R(t, s), T(t, s) are nonnegative nondecreasing in s for any t,
R(t, h(t)) = T(t, g(t)) = 0, R(t, s) ≥ T(t, s).
We establish a connection between non-oscillation of this differential equation and the corresponding differential inequalities, and between positiveness of the fundamental function and the existence of a nonnegative solution for a nonlinear integral inequality that constructed explicitly. We also present comparison theorems, and explicit non-oscillation and oscillation results.
In a separate publication (part II), we will consider applications of this theory to differential equations with several concentrated delays, integrodifferential, and mixed equations.
