Nonoscillation theorems for functional differential equations of arbitrary order

The authors give sufficient conditions for all oscillatory solutions of a sublinear forced higher order nonlinear functional differential equation to converge to zero. They then prove a nonoscillation theorem for such equations. A few intermediate results are also obtained.
