On the Nonoscillatory Properties of Solutions of a Functional Differential Equation
This paper establishes the equivalence between systems described by a single first-order hyperbolic partial differential equation and systems described by integral delay equations. System-theoretic results are provided for both classes of systems (among them converse Lyapunov results). The proposed framework can allow the study of discontinuous solutions for nonlinear systems described by a single first-order hyperbolic partial differential equation under the effect of measurable inputs acting on...
It is proved that under some conditions the set of all solutions of an initial value problem for -th order functional differential system on an unbounded interval is a compact .
It is proved that nonincreasing and satisfying the Volterra condition right-hand side of a functional differential equation does not guarantee the uniqueness of solutions.
Systems of differential equations with state-dependent delay are considered. The delay dynamically depends on the state, i.e. is governed by an additional differential equation. By applying the time transformations we arrive to constant delay systems and compare the asymptotic properties of the original and transformed systems.
The paper contains applications of Schrőder’s equation to differential equations with a deviating argument. There are derived conditions under which a considered equation with a deviating argument intersecting the identity can be transformed into an equation with a deviation of the form . Moreover, if the investigated equation is linear and homogeneous, we introduce a special form for such an equation. This special form may serve as a canonical form suitable for the investigation of oscillatory...
