comparison theorem; advanced argument; property (B)
Summary:
In this paper we compare the asymptotic behaviour of the advanced functional equation \[ L_nu(t)-F\big (t,u[g(t)]\big )= 0\] with the asymptotic behaviour of the set of ordinary functional equations \[ \alpha _iu(t)-F\big (t,u(t)\big )= 0. \] On the basis of this comparison principle the sufficient conditions for property (B) of equation (*) are deduced.
