Existence and positivity of solutions for a nonlinear periodic differential equation

Ernest Yankson (2012)

Archivum Mathematicum

We study the existence and positivity of solutions of a highly nonlinear periodic differential equation. In the process we convert the differential equation into an equivalent integral equation after which appropriate mappings are constructed. We then employ a modification of Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem introduced by T. A. Burton ([4], Theorem 3) to show the existence and positivity of solutions of the equation.

Existence and Stability of Periodic Solutions for Nonlinear Neutral Differential Equations with Variable Delay Using Fixed Point Technique

Our paper deals with the following nonlinear neutral differential equation with variable delay d d t D u t ( t ) = p ( t ) - a ( t ) u ( t ) - a ( t ) g ( u ( t - τ ( t ) ) ) - h ( u ( t ) , u ( t - τ ( t ) ) ) . By using Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem we obtain the existence of periodic solution and by contraction mapping principle we obtain the uniqueness. A sufficient condition is established for the positivity of the above equation. Stability results of this equation are analyzed. Our results extend and complement some results obtained in the work [Yuan, Y., Guo, Z.: On the existence and stability of...

Existence and uniqueness of positive periodic solutions of delayed Nicholson's blowflies models

Fei Long, Bingwen Liu (2012)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

This paper is concerned with a class of Nicholson's blowflies models with multiple time-varying delays. By applying the coincidence degree, some criteria are established for the existence and uniqueness of positive periodic solutions of the model. Moreover, a totally new approach to proving the uniqueness of positive periodic solutions is proposed. In particular, an example is employed to illustrate the main results.
