### Abstract

AbstractConsider the first-order linear differential equation with several retarded argumentsx′(t)+∑k=1npk(t)x(τk(t))=0,t≥t0,$$\begin{array}{}\displaystyle x^{\prime }(t)+\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}p_{k}(t)x(\tau _{k}(t))=0,\;\;\;t\geq t_{0},\end{array}$$where the functions pk, τk ∈ C([t0, ∞), ℝ+), τk(t) < t for t ≥ t0 and limt→∞τk(t) = ∞, for every k = 1, 2, …, n. Oscillation conditions which essentially improve known results in the literature are established. An example illustrating the results is given.
