Oscillatory properties of systems of first order linear delay differential inequalities (Q1096771): Difference between revisions

Sufficient conditions are obtained for the nonexistence of eventually positive bounded solutions of the system of delay differential inequalities \[ dx_ i(t)/dt+\sum^{n}_{j=1}a_{ij}x_ j(t- \tau_{ij})\leq 0;\quad i=1,2,...,n \] and for the nonexistence of eventually negative bounded solutions of \[ dx_ i(t)/dt+\sum^{n}_{j=1}a_{ij}x_ j(t-\tau_{ij})\geq 0;\quad i=1,2,...,n. \] As a corollary to the above we obtain sufficient conditions for all bounded solutions of \[ dx_ i(t)/dt+\sum^{n}_{j=1}a_{ij}x_ j(t-\tau_{ij})=0;\quad i=1,2,...,n \] to be oscillatory.
