1. Introduction It is well known that there are two basic methods in studying the asymptotic behavior of solutions of neutral delay differential equation with/without impulsive perturbations. One direction is by the construction of Lyapunov (functions) functionals, see [1–5]. In [1], Guan and Shen investigated the following impulsive neutral delay differential equation in Euler form

and obtained that every solution of system (1.1) tends to a constant as t ! 1. The other direction is by considering the asymptotic behavior of non-oscillatory and oscillatory solutions respectively, for example, see [6,7]. Such as in [6], the authors studied the asymptotic behavior of every non-oscillatory/ oscillatory solution for a forced nonlinear neutral differential equation with impulses and bounded delay

For the related stability results of impulsive functional differential equations, and the corresponding oscillatory theory on neutral differential equation in Euler form, the reader may want to consult [8–14] and the references therein. To the best of our knowledge, there is rarely result concerning the asymptotic behavior of non-oscillatory and/ or oscillatory solutions of impulsive neutral differential system. Especially, only paper [7] studies the asymptotic behavior of solutions for a nonlinear neutral delay differential equation with constant impulsive jumps. Moreover, there is hardly any result concerning the asymptotic behavior of solutions for a class of neutral differential equation in Euler form with constant

impulsive jumps. Therefore, inspired by the ideas from [1,7], in present paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of every non-oscillatory/ oscillatory solution for the following forced nonlinear neutral differential equation in first-order Euler form with constant impulsive jumps and unbounded delay

It should be noted that in previous references, such as [1,6,7], the condition limt!1 jCðtÞj ¼ C < 1 is satisfied, while in our work, we do not require limt!1 jCðtÞj exists. In fact, we obtain our results just require lim supt!1 jCðtÞj < 1. So the obtained conclusions further improve and generalize some related existing results. In addition, it is worth mentioning that in system (1.3), we cannot simply and directly apply the above two methods to derive sufficient conditions such that every non-oscillatory/ oscillatory solution of system (1.3) tends to zero as t ! 1. Therefore, for the purpose of desirable results, we introduce the function HðtÞ of the form

R such that u is continuous everywhere except at some points    þ t k ; k 2 Zþ , and the limits uðt þ k Þ ¼ limt!t uðtÞ; uðt k Þ ¼ limt!t k uðtÞ exist with uðt k Þ ¼ uðt k Þ; the sequence ft k g; k 2 Zþ is impulk

sive time which satisfying 0 < t 0 < t k < tkþ1 " 1 as k ! 1; fak g; k 2 Zþ is a constant impulsive perturbations sequence, where Zþ denotes the set of all positive integers. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In the next section, we present some preliminaries. In Section 3, we give and prove our main results by a technique of construction. Finally, in Section 4, as an application of our results, we present an example to illustrate the usefulness of the obtained results. 2. Preliminaries In connection with the nonlinear function f, the forced term hðtÞ, and the impulsive perturbations sequence fak g in system (1.3), we assume that the following assumptions hold. (H1) there exists a constant M > 0 such that

x 2 R;

(H2) for all t P t0 > 0, the integration

t þ (H3) sðt k Þ is not an impulsive point for all k 2 Zþ , and limk!1 aþ k ¼ 0, where ak ¼ maxfak ; 0g.

With system (1.3), one associates with an initial value condition

One can easily show the global existence and uniqueness of the solution of the initial value problem (1.3) and (2.1). In the following, we give two relevant definitions. Definition 2.1. A function xðtÞ is said to be a solution of system (1.3) satisfying the initial value condition (2.1), if (1) xðtÞ ¼ uðt=t 0 Þ for qt0 6 t 6 t0 , and xðtÞ is continuous for t P t0 ; t – tk ; k 2 Zþ ; (2) xðtÞ  CðtÞxðsðtÞÞ is continuously differentiable for t > t0 ; t – tk =bi ; i 2 K; k 2 Zþ and satisfies system (1.3);   (3) xðtþ k Þ and xðt k Þ exist with xðt k Þ ¼ xðt k Þ for all k 2 Zþ , and satisfies system (1.3).

Definition 2.2. A solution xðtÞ of system (1.3) is said to be eventually positive (negative) if it is positive (negative) for all sufficiently large t. It is said to be oscillatory if it is neither eventually positive nor eventually negative. Otherwise, it is said to be non-oscillatory.

Choose a positive integer N sufficiently large such that there exists an integer m large enough which satisfying

sðtm Þ > tN and (3.4) holds for t P tN , where N is the largest subscript of satisfying sðtm Þ > tN . Let xðtÞ be a non-oscillatory solution of system (1.3). Without loss of generality, we will assume that xðtÞ is eventually positive solution, the case where xðtÞ is eventually negative is similar and we here omit it. Let xðtÞ > 0 for t P tN . For all t P t N , define

aðtÞ ¼

where N t corresponds to the largest subscript of impulsive points in the interval ðtN ; tÞ. Set

From this and (3.6), ðH2 Þ-ðH3 Þ, we see that for t – t k ; t – t k =bi ; i 2 K; k 2 Zþ ,

Moreover, when k ¼ N þ 1,

yðtþNþ1 Þ  yðtNþ1 Þ ¼ aNþ1  aðt þN Þ  aðt þNþ1 Þ 6 0; when k ¼ N þ 2; N þ 3; . . ., it follows from (H3), (3.5) and (3.8) that

yðtþk Þ  yðt k Þ ¼ xðtþk Þ  xðtk Þ þ Hðtþk Þ  Hðt k Þ  aðtþk Þ þ aðtk Þ ¼ ak  aþk1  aþk þ aþk1 6 0:   Which together with (3.7) imply that yðtÞ is nonincreasing on trN ; 1 . Let L ¼ limt!1 yðtÞ, we claim that L 2 R. Otherwise, L ¼ 1, then xðtÞ is unbounded. In fact, if xðtÞ is bounded, it follows from (3.6) and (H1) that for some constant G > 0,

Furthermore, it follows from ðH2 Þ-ðH3 Þ and (3.4) that L > 1. This is a contradiction and so xðtÞ is unbounded.

On the other hand, since xðtÞ is unbounded and limt!1 yðtÞ ¼ 1, we can choose a t  P maxftN =b1 ; sðt m Þg (sufficiently large if necessary) such that yðt  Þ  Hðt Þ þ aðt  Þ < 0 and xðt Þ ¼ maxfxðtÞ : maxftm ; t N g 6 t 6 t  g. Thus, it follows from (3.4) that

(3.9) together with (3.3) imply that

lim inf xðtÞ ¼ 0:

ð3:10Þ

t!1

Let fSm g satisfies Sm ! 1 as m ! 1 and limm!1 f ðxðSm ÞÞ ¼ 0. We must have lim inf m!1 xðSm Þ ¼ c ¼ 0. In fact, if c > 0, then there exists a subsequence fSmk g of fSm g such that xðSmk Þ P 2c for k sufficiently large. But due to (3.1), we have f ðxðSmk ÞÞ P gc for some gc > 0 and sufficiently large k. Which yields a contradiction because of limk!1 f ðxðSmk ÞÞ ¼ 0. Therefore, (3.10) holds. From (3.9), we obtain

By the preceding proofs, one can see that xðtÞ is bounded. From ðH2 Þ-ðH3 Þ and (3.11), we have

limzðtÞ ¼ l exists:

t!1

Which together with (3.6) field that

lim½xðtÞ  CðtÞxðsðtÞÞ ¼ l:

ð3:12Þ

t!1

If 0 < lim inf t!1 jCðtÞj < lim supt!1 jCðtÞj ¼ C < 1, one can see that CðtÞ is eventually positive or eventually negative. Otherwise, there is a sequence fsk g with sk ! 1 as k ! 1 such that Cðsk Þ ¼ 0, and so limk!1 Cðsk Þ ¼ 0. Which is a contradiction. Thus, one can find a sufficiently large T such that

0 < jCðtÞj < 1;

for all t > T:

Let

g ¼ lim sup xðtÞ: t!1

Which together with lim inf t!1 xðtÞ ¼ 0 imply that there exist two sequences fun g and fv n g with un ! 1; v n ! 1 as n ! 1, such that

limxðun Þ ¼ 0;

limxðv n Þ ¼ g:

On the other hand, it follows that there exists an integer n0 sufficiently large such that sðun Þ P tN ; sðv n Þ P tN for all n P n0 . We from the following two possible cases to discuss. Case 1. 1 < CðtÞ < 0 for t > maxfT; sðun0 Þ; sðv n0 Þg, where n0 sufficiently large, then we have

This shows limt!1 xðtÞ ¼ 0. If 0 ¼ lim inf t!1 jCðtÞj < lim supt!1 jCðtÞj ¼ C < 1, then it follows that

lim inf CðtÞ 6 0; t!1

lim sup CðtÞ 6 C < 1: t!1

Furthermore, we have

l ¼ n!1 lim ½xðun Þ  Cðun Þxðsðun ÞÞ 6 C g and

l ¼ n!1 lim ½xðv n Þ  Cðv n Þxðsðv n ÞÞ P g which imply that g ¼ 0, and so limt!1 xðtÞ ¼ 0. If 0 6 lim inf t!1 jCðtÞj ¼ lim supt!1 jCðtÞj ¼ C < 1, that is, the limit limt!1 jCðtÞj exists with 0 6 limt!1 jCðtÞj ¼ C < 1, then it can be proved in a similar way to Theorem 2.1 from [1]. Therefore, we conclude that limt!1 xðtÞ ¼ 0, and so the proof of Theorem 3.1 is complete. h Theorem 3.2. Let ðH1 Þ-ðH2 Þ hold. Assume that sðt k Þ is not an impulsive point for all k 2 Zþ , and

Then every oscillatory solution of system (1.3) tends to zero as t ! 1. Proof. Let xðtÞ be an oscillatory solution of system (1.3). We first show that xðtÞ is bounded.

When choose M ¼ 1; r ¼ b2 ¼ e and k ¼ 3, we claim that every non-oscillatory solution of Eq. (4.1) tends to zero as t ! 1. In fact, it is easily verify that ðH1 Þ-ðH3 Þ and (3.1) hold. In addition, for t P e, we have

by L’Hospital’s rule. Therefore by Theorem 3.1, we have that every non-oscillatory solution of Eq. (4.1) tends zero as t ! 1. However, we should be noted that the same conclusion cannot be obtained by Theorem 2.1 from [7], because limt!1 CðtÞ ¼ jpj (jpj < 1 is a constant) is not satisfied.
