Existence, uniqueness and asymptotic stability of periodic solutions of periodic functional differential systems (Q1365341): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the system \[ A\dot x_i(t)=x_i(t)F_i(t,x_1(t),\dots ,x_n(t),x_1(t-\tau (t)), \dots ,x_n(t-\tau (t)), \tag{1} \] where \(F_i\) are periodic with respect to \(t\) for \(n=1,\dots ,n\). System (1) is a generalization of the nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra system, which plays a very important role in mathematical population biology. Existence and uniqueness theorems for periodic solutions of (1) are established by combining the theory of monotone flow generated by FDEs. Application to a delay nonautonomous predator-prey system is presented.
