In this paper we study asymptotic behavior of solutions of second order neutral functional differential equation of the form $${\left(x\left(t\right)+px(t-\tau )\right)}^{\text{'}\text{'}}+f(t,x\left(t\right))=0.$$ We present conditions under which all nonoscillatory solutions are asymptotic to $at+b$ as $t\to \infty$, with $a,b\in R$. The obtained results extend those that are known for equation $$u^{\text{'}\text{'}}+f(t,u)=0.$$

We give an equivalence criterion on property A and property B for delay third order linear differential equations. We also give comparison results on properties A and B between linear and nonlinear equations, whereby we only suppose that nonlinearity has superlinear growth near infinity.

We address some questions concerning a class of differential variational inequalities with finite delays. The existence of exponential decay solutions and a global attractor for the associated multivalued semiflow is proved.

Asymptotic behavior of solutions of an area-preserving crystalline curvature flow equation is investigated. In this equation, the area enclosed by the solution polygon is preserved, while its total interfacial crystalline energy keeps on decreasing. In the case where the initial polygon is essentially admissible and convex, if the maximal existence time is finite, then vanishing edges are essentially admissible edges. This is a contrast to the case where the initial polygon is admissible and convex:...

We prove, by means of Malliavin calculus, the convergence in $L^2$ of some properly renormalized weighted quadratic variations of bi-fractional Brownian motion (biFBM) with parameters $H$ and $K$, when $H\<1/4$ and $K\in (0,1]$.

The asymptotic behaviour for $t\to \infty$ of the solutions to a one-dimensional model for thermo-visco-plastic behaviour is investigated in this paper. The model consists of a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations, representing the equation of motion, the balance of the internal energy, and a phase evolution equation, determining the evolution of a phase variable. The phase evolution equation can be used to deal with relaxation processes. Rate-independent hysteresis effects in the strain-stress...

We present several results dealing with the asymptotic behaviour of a real two-dimensional system $x^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)=𝖠\left(t\right)x\left(t\right)+{\sum }_{k=1}^m{𝖡}_k\left(t\right)x\left({\theta }_k\left(t\right)\right)+h(t,x\left(t\right),x\left({\theta }_1\left(t\right)\right),\cdots ,x\left({\theta }_m\left(t\right)\right))$ with bounded nonconstant delays $t-{\theta }_k\left(t\right)\ge 0$ satisfying ${lim}_{t\to \infty }{\theta }_k\left(t\right)=\infty$, under the assumption of instability. Here $𝖠$, ${𝖡}_k$ and $h$ are supposed to be matrix functions and a vector function, respectively. The conditions for the instable properties of solutions together with the conditions for the existence of bounded solutions are given. The methods are based on the transformation of the real system considered to one equation with...
