Quasilinear retarded differential equations with functional dependence on piecewise constant argument (Q380178): Difference between revisions

The author introduces a new class of functional differential equations, namely \[ x^{\prime}(t) = A_0(t)x(t) + A_1(t)x(\gamma (t))+ f(t, x_t, x_{\gamma (t)}), \] where \(x_t(s)=x(t+s), \;x_{\gamma (t)}(s) = x(\gamma (t) + s)\) for all \(s\in [\tau , 0]\), and \(\gamma (t)\) is of an alternate type (which is explained in the paper); \(A_0(t)\) and \(A_1(t)\) are assumed to be \(n\times n\) matrices with entries from \(C_0(\mathbb{R})\), with \(\inf_{\mathbb{R}} \| A_1(t) \| >0\); \(f\) is assumed to be continuous in all arguments and Lipschitz continuous in the second and third arguments. Bounded solutions, periodic and almost periodic solutions, stability are investigated and some examples are discussed.
