Abstract: In this paper we consider the nonlinear difference equation with several delays
(ax_{n+1}+bx_{n})^k-(cx_{n})^k+\sum\limits_{i=1}^{m} p_{i}(n)x^k_{n-\sigma_{i}}=0
where $a,b,c\in(0,\infty)$, $k=q/r, q, r$ are positive odd integers, $m$, $\sigma_{i}$ are positive integers, $\{p_{i}(n)\}$, $i=1,2,\dots,m, $ is a real sequence with $p_{i}(n)\geq0$ for all large $n$, and $\liminf_{n\rightarrow\infty}p_{i}(n)=p_{i}<\infty$, $i=1,2,\dots,m$. Some sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all solutions of the above equation are obtained.

Keywords: nonlinear difference equtions, oscillation, eventually positive solutions, characteristic equation
