Nonoscillatory solutions of systems of neutral differential equations (Q1210048)

The author considers the system of neutral differential equations of the form \[ (1\mu){d^ n\over dt^ n}[x_ i(t)+(-1)^ \mu a_ i(t)x_ i(h_ i(t))]=\sum^ N_{j=1}P_{ij}(t)f_{ij}(x_ j(g_{ij}(t))), \] \(i=1,2,\dots,N\), \(N\geq 2\), \(n\geq 1\), \(\mu\in\{0,1\}\), \(t_ 0\geq 0\), where (a) \(a_ i:[t_ 0,\infty)\to(0,\beta_ i]\), \(0<\beta_ i<1\), \(h_ i,g_{ij},P_{ij}:[t_ 0,\infty)\to R\) and \(f_{ij}:R\to R\), \(i,j=1,2,\dots,N\) are continuous functions; (b) \(h_ i(t)\leq t\), \(t\geq t_ 0\), \(\lim_{t\to\infty}h_ i(t)=\infty\), \(\lim_{t\to\infty}g_{ij}(t)=\infty\), \(i,j=1,\dots,N\); (c) \(uf_{ij}(u)>0\) for \(u\neq 0\), \(i,j=1,2,\dots,N\); (d) \(\lim_{t\to\infty}a_ i(t)=a_{i0}\in[0,\beta_ i]\), \(i=1,2,\dots,N\). In the paper the existence of nonoscillatory solutions of the system \((1_ \mu)\) which approach nonzero constant vectors as \(t\to\infty\) is presented.
