In this paper, we investigate a class of a third-order neutral-type differential equation with time-varying delays. Some sufficient conditions on the existence of a periodic solution are established for the considered system. Different from the previously reported research results, by utilizing the properties of neutral operators and a special variable substitution, we transform a high-order neutral equation into a first-order three-dimensional nonneutral system. The existence of a periodic solution such as the high-order neutral equation has not been given much attention in past papers due to the difficulty of estimation of prior bounds of solutions. This paper is devoted to the use of properties of neutral-type operators with a variable parameter and Mawhin's continuation theorem for overcoming the above difficulties. The neutral term in the third-order neutral differential equation in this paper contains a variable parameter which is different from third-order neutral-type equations that have been studied. The third-order neutral-type equation studied in this paper is more general, and similar equations studied in the past are special cases of the equations studied in this paper. Finally, an example is given to elucidate the effectiveness and values of the present results. Our results are new and complement the related results of third-order functional differential equations.

In this work, we are concerned with some qualitative analyses of fractional-order partial hyperbolic functional differential equations under the ψ -Caputo type. To be precise, we investigate the existence and uniqueness results based on the nonlinear alternative of the Leray-Schauder type and Banach contraction mapping. Moreover, we present two similar results to nonlocal problems. Then, the guarantee of the existence of solutions is shown by Ulam-Hyer's stability. Two examples will be given to illustrate the abstract results. Eventually, some known results in the literature are extended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this analysis, we develop a new approach to investigate the semianalytical solution of the delay differential equations. Mohand transform coupled with the homotopy perturbation method is called Mohand homotopy perturbation transform method (MHPTM) and performs the solution results in the form of series. The beauty of this approach is that it does not need to compute the values of the Lagrange multiplier as in the variational iteration method, and also, there is no need to implement the convolution theorem as in the Laplace transform. The main purpose of this scheme is to reduce the less computational work and the error analysis of the problems than others studied in the literature. Some illustrated examples are interpreted to confirm the accuracy of the newly developed scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on the linear multistep methods for ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and the canonical interpolation theory that was presented by Shoufu Li who is exactly the second author of this paper, we propose the linear multistep methods for general Volterra functional differential equations (VFDEs) and build the classical stability, consistency, and convergence theories of the methods. The methods and theories presented in this paper are applicable to nonneutral, nonstiff, and nonlinear initial value problems in ODEs, Volterra delay differential equations (VDDEs), Volterra integro-differential equations (VIDEs), Volterra delay integro-differential equations (VDIDEs), etc. At last, some numerical experiments verify the correctness of our theories.

This study is aimed at developing new criteria of the iterative nature to test the oscillation of neutral delay differential equations of third order. First, we obtain a new criterion for the nonexistence of the so-called Kneser solutions, using an iterative technique. Further, we use several methods to obtain different criteria, so that a larger area of the models can be covered. The examples provided strongly support the importance of the new results.

We discuss the existence of positive solution for a class of nonlinear fractional differential equations with delay involving Caputo derivative. Well-known Leray–Schauder theorem, Arzela–Ascoli theorem, and Banach contraction principle are used for the fixed point property and existence of a solution. We establish local generalized Ulam–Hyers stability and local generalized Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stability for the same class of nonlinear fractional neutral differential equations. The simulation of an example is also given to show the applicability of our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study the periodic averaging principle for neutral stochastic delay differential equations with impulses under non-Lipschitz condition. By using the linear operator theory, we deal with the difficulty brought by delay term of the neutral system and obtain the conclusion that the solutions of neutral stochastic delay differential equations with impulses converge to the solutions of the corresponding averaged stochastic delay differential equations without impulses in the sense of mean square and in probability. At last, an example is presented to show the validity of the proposed theories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An algorithm using the differential transformation which is convenient for finding numerical solutions to initial value problems for functional differential equations is proposed in this paper. We focus on retarded equations with delays which in general are functions of the independent variable. The delayed differential equation is turned into an ordinary differential equation using the method of steps. The ordinary differential equation is transformed into a recurrence relation in one variable using the differential transformation. Approximate solution has the form of a Taylor polynomial whose coefficients are determined by solving the recurrence relation. Practical implementation of the presented algorithm is demonstrated in an example of the initial value problem for a differential equation with nonlinear nonconstant delay. A two-dimensional neutral system of higher complexity with constant, nonconstant, and proportional delays has been chosen to show numerical performance of the algorithm. Results are compared against Matlab function DDENSD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, approximations to the solutions of singularly perturbed second-order linear delay differential equations are studied. We firstly use two-term Taylor series expansion for the delayed convection term and obtain a singularly perturbed ordinary differential equation (ODE). Later, an efficient and simple asymptotic method so called Successive Complementary Expansion Method (SCEM) is employed to obtain a uniformly valid approximation to this corresponding singularly perturbed ODE. As the final step, we employ a numerical procedure to solve the resulting equations that come from SCEM procedure. In order to show efficiency of this numerical-asymptotic hybrid method, we compare the results with exact solutions if possible; if not we compare with the results that are obtained by other reported methods.
