In this paper we study the oscillatory behavior of the even order nonlinear delay differential equation

(1)

where

(i) denotes the order of differentiation with respect to t. The delay terms τi σi are assumed to be real-valued, continuous, non-negative, non-decreasing and bounded by a common constant M on the half line (t0, + ∞ ) for some t0 ≧ 0.
