Existence of periodic solutions for neutral nonlinear differential equations with variable delay.
Let be a periodic time scale. The purpose of this paper is to use a modification of Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem due to Burton to prove the existence of periodic solutions on time scale of the nonlinear dynamic equation with variable delay , , where is the -derivative on and is the -derivative on . We invert the given equation to obtain an equivalent integral equation from which we define a fixed point mapping written as a sum of a large contraction and a compact map. We show...
An SEIR model with periodic coefficients in epidemiology is considered. The global existence of periodic solutions with strictly positive components for this model is established by using the method of coincidence degree. Furthermore, a sufficient condition for the global stability of this model is obtained. An example based on the transmission of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is included.
Based on the fixed-point theorem in a cone and some analysis skill, a new sufficient condition is obtained for the existence of positive periodic solutions for a class of higher-order functional difference equations. An example is used to illustrate the applicability of the main result.
