For dynamic equations on time scales with positive variable coefficients and several delays we prove that nonoscillation is equivalent to the existence of a positive solution for the generalized characteristic inequality and to the positivity of the fundamental function. Based on this result comparison tests are developed. The nonoscillation criterion is illustrated by examples which are neither delay-differential nor classical difference equations. 1. Introduction Oscillation of first-order delay-difference and differential equations has been extensively studied in the last two decades. As is well known most results for delay differential equations have their analogues for delay difference equations. In 1 Hilger revealed this interesting connection and initiated studies on a new time-scale theory. With this new theory it is now possible to unify most of the results in the discrete and the continuous calculus for instance some results obtained separately for delay difference equations and delay-differential equations can be incorporated in the general type of equations called dynamic .
