By using the coincidence degree theory of Mawhin, we study the existence of periodic solutions for $n$ th order delay differential equations with damping terms $x^{\left(n\right)}\left(t\right)=\sum _{i=1}^s{b}_i{\left[x^{\left(i\right)}\left(t\right)\right]}^{2k-1}+f\left(x(t-\tau \left(t\right))\right)+p\left(t\right)$. Some new results on the existence of periodic solutions of the investigated equation are obtained.

This paper studies the leader-following consensus problem of second-order multi-agent systems with directed topologies. By employing the asynchronous sampled-data protocols, sufficient conditions for leader-following consensus with both constant velocity leader and variable velocity leader are derived. Leader-following quasi-consensus can be achieved in multi-agent systems when all the agents sample the information asynchronously. Numerical simulations are provided to verify the theoretical results....
