A Global Stability Criterion for Scalar Functional Differential Equations

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider scalar delay differential equations x′(t)=−deltax(t)+f(t,xt)(∗) with nonlinear f satisfying a sort of negative feedback condition combined with a boundedness condition. The well known Mackey-Glass type equations, equations satisfying the Yorke condition, equations with maxima are kept within our considerations. Here, we establish a criterion for the global asymptotical stability of a unique steady state to (∗). As an example, we study Nicholson's blowflies equation, where our computations support Smith's conjecture about the equivalence of global and local asymptotical stability in this population model.
