Asymptotic properties of one differential equation with unbounded delay. (Q2918602)

The authors deals with the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of the differential equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \dot {y}(t) = -a(t)y(t) + \sum _{| i| =2}^{\infty }c_i(t)\prod _{j=1}^n (y(\xi _j(t)))^{i_j} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE with unbounded delays \(\xi _j(t)\) as \(t\to \infty \). Formal solutions are constructed in the form of power series NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \sum _{n=1}^{\infty }f_n(t)\varphi ^n(t,C), NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\varphi (t,C)=C\exp (-a(t))\) is the general solution of the homogeneous equation \(\dot {y}(t) = -a(t)y(t)\), \(f_1(t)\equiv 1\) and the functions \(f_k(t)\), \(k=2,\dots \), are particular solutions of a system of ordinary differential equations. Wazewski's topological method is used to prove the existence of solutions with the property NEWLINE\[NEWLINE y(t,C) \sim \sum _{n=1}^{\infty }f_n(t)\varphi ^n(t,C),\; \; \; t\to \infty . NEWLINE\]
