Abstract.  This article concerns the existence of non-oscillatory solutions for non-linear, non-homogeneous differential equations. In these equations, the unknown function depends on distributed arguments that can be retarded or advanced and have variable delays. Using contraction mappings, we show the existence of solutions, and estimate their norms. Then our results are extended to dynamic equations on times scales, and to difference equations.
Keywords: Neutral equation; non-oscillatory solution; distributed delay.
