Existence and stability of almost periodic solutions for quasilinear delay systems and the Halanay inequality (Q1583963)

The authors study the almost-periodic delay differential systems \[ u'(t) = -Au(t) + Wg(t,u_{t}) + f(t),\qquad u(t)\in \mathbb{R}^{n}, \tag{1} \] where \(A, W\) are constant matrices, \(g(t,\varphi), f(t)\) are almost-periodic in \(t\) uniformly on \(\varphi \) from bounded subsets of \(C([-h,0], \mathbb{R}^{n})\). Easily verifiable conditions for the existence and stability of a globally attracting almost-periodic solution to (1) are presented. The authors use the exponential dichotomy theory together with usual positivity arguments for proving the main results. The semigroup version of the Perron-Frobenius theorem is applied to study a multidimensional generalization of the scalar Halanay inequality. Also, the particular example of the delay differential system with maxima and almost periodic forcing term, \[ u'(t)=-Au(t)+W \max_{s\in [t-h,t]} u(s) +f(t),\qquad u(t)\in \mathbb{R}^{n},\tag{2} \] is studied.
