In this article, we establish some new criteria for the oscillation of fourth-order nonlinear delay differential equations of the form (r2(t)(r1(t)(y (t)) α ) ) + p(t)(y (t)) α + q(t)f (y(g(t))) = 0 provided that the second-order equationis nonoscillatory or oscillatory.Mathematics Subject Classification. 34C10, 39A10.
