Asymptotic Periodicity of Solutions to a Class of Neutral Functional Differential Equations

From MaRDI portal





The author extends a convergence result due to Takáč for strong monotone maps to a continuous map satisfying certain weak monotonicity properties. Applying this extension to the Poincaré map associated with the neutral equation \[ {d \over dt}[x(t)-b(t)x(t-r)]=F[t,x(t),x(t- r)],\qquad t\geq 0, \] it is proved that each solution of this equation tends to an \(r\)-periodic function as \(t\to\infty\) in an oscillatory manner. Here \(0\leq b(t)\leq 1\) is an \(r\)-periodic continuous function and \(F\) satisfies the order relation \(F(t,x,y)\leq 0\) if \(x\geq y\) and \(F(t,x,y)\geq 0\) if \(x\leq y\).
