For a scalar delay logistic equation y'(t) = y(t) Sigma(k-1)(m) r(k)(t) [1 - y(h(k)(t))/K], h(k)(t) less than or equal to t, a connection between oscillating properties of this equation, the corresponding differential inequalities and the linear equation x'(t) + Sigma(k=1)(m) r(k)(t)x(h(k)(t)) = 0 is established: Explicit nonoscillation and oscillation conditions are presented. When h(k)(t) = t - tau(k), k = 1, 2,..., m, we also investigate the linearized oscillation of Eq. (*). (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Inc. [References: 5]
