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 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 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...

Inequalities for some positive solutions of the linear differential equation with delay ẋ(t) = -c(t)x(t-τ) are obtained. A connection with an auxiliary functional nondifferential equation is used.

In this article, stability and asymptotic properties of solutions of a real two-dimensional system $x^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)=𝐀\left(t\right)x\left(t\right)+𝐁\left(t\right)x\left(\tau \left(t\right)\right)+𝐡(t,x\left(t\right),x\left(\tau \left(t\right)\right))$ are studied, where $𝐀$, $𝐁$ are matrix functions, $𝐡$ is a vector function and $\tau \left(t\right)\le t$ is a nonconstant delay which is absolutely continuous and satisfies $\underset{t\to \infty }{lim}\tau \left(t\right)=\infty$. Generalization of results on stability of a two-dimensional differential system with one constant delay is obtained using the methods of complexification and Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and some new corollaries and examples are presented.

In this paper we investigate the asymptotic properties of all solutions of the delay differential equation y’(x)=a(x)y((x))+b(x)y(x),      xI=[x0,). We set up conditions under which every solution of this equation can be represented in terms of a solution of the differential equation z’(x)=b(x)z(x),      xI and a solution of the functional equation |a(x)|((x))=|b(x)|(x),      xI.

Sufficient conditions are established for the oscillation of proper solutions of the system $$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill u_1^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)& =p\left(t\right)u_2\left(\sigma \left(t\right)\right),\hfill \\ \hfill u_2^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)& =-q\left(t\right)u_1\left(\tau \left(t\right)\right),\hfill \end{array}$$ where $p,q:R_{+}\to R_{+}$ are locally summable functions, while $\tau$ and $\sigma :R_{+}\to R_{+}$ are continuous and continuously differentiable functions, respectively, and $\underset{t\to +\infty }{lim}\tau \left(t\right)=+\infty$, $\underset{t\to +\infty }{lim}\sigma \left(t\right)=+\infty$.
