In this paper, we consider the n-order neutral delay differential equation with unstable type ((x(t) - p(t)x(t - tau))((n)) = q(t)vertical bar x(t - sigma)vertical bar(alpha-1)x(t - sigma), t >= t(0), where n >= 2 is an even integer, alpha >= 1, tau > 0, sigma > 0 and p, q is an element of C([t(0), +infinity], R+). We first prove that this equation always has an unbounded positive solution, then some new bounded oscillation and nonoscillation criter...
