By the principle of comparison, we obtain the conditions for the nonexistence of positive decreasing solutions as well as, and by using the Riccati transformation technique, we obtain the conditions for the nonexistence of increasing solutions. Therefore, we get new sufficient criteria that ensure that every solution of the studied equation oscillates. Asymmetry plays an important role in describing the properties of solutions of differential equations. An example is given to illustrate the importance of our results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14112416","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,16]],"date-time":"2022-11-16T02:31:27Z","timestamp":1668565887000},"page":"2416","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["New Conditions for Testing the Oscillation of Third-Order Differential Equations with Distributed Arguments"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6959-372X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.","family":"Al Themairi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematical Sciences, College of Science, Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, P.O.
