Abstract: Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for oscillation of all bounded solutions of
[y(t) - y(t-\tau )]^{(n)} + Q(t) G(y(t-\sigma )) = 0, t \ge 0, \tag $*$
where $n \ge 3$ is odd. Sufficient conditions are obtained for all solutions of $(*)$ to oscillate. Further, sufficient conditions are given for all solutions of the forced equation associated with $(*)$ to oscillate or tend to zero as $t \rightarrow \infty $. In this case, there is no restriction on $n$.
Keywords: oscillation, nonoscillation, neutral differential equations
