This paper deals with the existence of positive $\omega$-periodic solutions for the neutral functional differential equation with multiple delays $${(u\left(t\right)-cu(t-\delta ))}^{\text{'}}+a\left(t\right)u\left(t\right)=f(t,u(t-{\tau }_1),\cdots ,u(t-{\tau }_n)).$$ The essential inequality conditions on the existence of positive periodic solutions are obtained. These inequality conditions concern with the relations of $c$ and the coefficient function $a\left(t\right)$, and the nonlinearity $f(t,x_1,\cdots ,x_n)$. Our discussion is based on the perturbation method of positive operator and fixed point index theory in cones.

In this paper, we employ some new techniques to study the existence of positive periodic solution of $n$-species neutral delay system $$N_i^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)=N_i\left(t\right)\left[a_i\left(t\right)-\sum _{j=1}^n{\beta }_{ij}\left(t\right)N_j\left(t\right)-\sum _{j=1}^n{b}_{ij}\left(t\right)N_j(t-{\tau }_{ij}\left(t\right))-\sum _{j=1}^n{c}_{ij}\left(t\right)N_j^{\text{'}}(t-{\tau }_{ij}\left(t\right))\right].$$ As a corollary, we answer an open problem proposed by Y. Kuang.

The aim of this paper is to present sufficient conditions for all bounded solutions of the second order neutral differential equations of the form (r(t)(x(t) - px(t-τ))')' - q(t)f(x(σ(t))) = 0 to be oscillatory and to compare some existing results.

We study oscillatory properties of solutions of the system of differential equations of neutral type.

We analyze the stability and stabilizability properties of mixed retarded-neutral type systems when the neutral term may be singular. We consider an operator differential equation model of the system in a Hilbert space, and we are interested in the critical case when there is a sequence of eigenvalues with real parts converging to zero. In this case, the system cannot be exponentially stable, and we study conditions under which it will be strongly stable. The behavior of spectra of mixed retarded-neutral...
