In this paper, under appropriate hypotheses, we have the existence of a solution semigroup of partial differential equations with delay operator. These equations are used to describe time–age-structured cell cycle model. We also prove that the solution semigroup is a frequently hypercyclic semigroup. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A fitted tension spline numerical scheme for a singularly perturbed parabolic problem (SPPP) with time delay is proposed. The presence of a small parameter ε as a multiple of the diffusion term leads to the suddenly changing behaviors of the solution in the boundary layer region. This results in a challenging duty to solve the problem analytically. Classical numerical methods cause spurious nonphysical oscillations unless an unacceptable number of mesh points is considered, which requires a large computational cost. To overcome this drawback, a numerical method comprising the backward Euler scheme in the time direction and the fitted spline scheme in the space direction on uniform meshes is proposed. To establish the stability and uniform convergence of the proposed method, an extensive amount of analysis is carried out. Three numerical examples are considered to validate the efficiency and applicability of the proposed scheme. It is proved that the proposed scheme is uniformly convergent of order one in both space and time. Further, the boundary layer behaviors of the solutions are given graphically.

A numerical scheme is developed to solve a large time delay two-parameter singularly perturbed one-dimensional parabolic problem in a rectangular domain. Two small parameters multiply the convective and diffusive terms, which determine the width of the left and right lateral surface boundary layers. Uniform mesh and piece-wise uniform Shishkin mesh discretization are applied in time and spatial dimensions, respectively. The numerical scheme is formulated by using the Crank–Nicolson method on two consecutive time steps and the average central finite difference approximates in spatial derivatives. It is proved that the method is uniformly convergent, independent of the perturbation parameters, where the convection term is dominated by the diffusion term. The resulting scheme is almost second-order convergent in the spatial direction and second-order convergent in the temporal direction. Numerical experiments illustrate theoretical findings, and the method provides more accurate numerical solutions than prior literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the finite-time stability (FTS) of a linear conformable stochastic differential equation with finite delay (LCSDEwFD). We use the Banach fixed point theorem (BFPT) to prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution and analyze the FTS of the system using the Gronwall inequalities. To demonstrate the practical value of our approach, we provide two numerical examples that showcase the relevance and effectiveness of our theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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 paper, oscillation and asymptotic behavior of three-dimensional third-order delay systems are discussed. Some sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure that every solution of the system is either oscillatory or nonoscillatory and converges to zero or diverges as t goes to infinity. A special technique is adopted to include all possible cases for all nonoscillatory solutions (NOSs). The obtained results included illustrative examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The proposed research utilizes a computational approach to attain a numerical solution for the singularly perturbed delay differential equation (SPDDE) problem arising in the neuronal variability model through artificial neural networks (ANNs) with different solvers. The log-sigmoid function is used to construct the fitness function. The implementation of ANN on SPDDE problems is formulated for different solvers and trained with different weights. The optimization solvers such as the genetic algorithm (GA), sequential quadratic programming (SQP), and pattern search (PS) are hybridized with the active set technique (AST) and the interior-point technique (IPT) and is used to check the accuracy and rapid convergence of the numerical results of the SPDDE model. The numerical outcomes demonstrate that the system is easy to handle and efficient to solve with boundary conditions. Moreover, we used the mean residual error for one hundred runs for each solver to validate the accuracy of the proposed scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While there has been much work analyzing the effects of urban exodus on rural areas' development, particularly in improving these localities' access to better services and decent quality of life, models to date lacked important features such as adaptation time effect on ongoing agricultural projects of new settlers reflecting real difficulties related to individuals abilities. In this article, we show that newcomers individual abilities, educational backgrounds, motivation, and so forth are crucial to promote the development of rural areas and facilitate the relocation or return of a certain group of people in their region of interest. Using a systemic approach, we present a model of urban exodus based on constant delay differential equations considering the local authority and population support and the time needed before the successful settlement of newcomers in the region. Furthermore, we estimate that adaptation time was responsible both for successful settlement increase and failure decrease. To reflect this, we incorporate delay terms in both the successful settlement and failure differential equations. We performed a qualitative analysis of the proposed system and show in numerical simulation that newcomers should be selected in function of their skills and experiences to accelerate their successful settlement, achieve overall socioeconomic development and improve the quality of life and well-being of the inhabitants.

In this study, an efficient analytical method called the Sumudu Iterative Method (SIM) is introduced to obtain the solutions for the nonlinear delay differential equation (NDDE). This technique is a mixture of the Sumudu transform method and the new iterative method. The Sumudu transform method is used in this approach to solve the equation's linear portion, and the new iterative method's successive iterative producers are used to solve the equation's nonlinear portion. Some basic properties and theorems which help us to solve the governing problem using the suggested approach are revised. The benefit of this approach is that it solves the equations directly and reliably, without the prerequisite for perturbations or linearization or extensive computer labor. Five sample instances from the DDEs are given to confirm the method's reliability and effectiveness, and the outcomes are compared with the exact solution with the assistance of tables and graphs after taking the sum of the first eight iterations of the approximate solution. Furthermore, the findings indicate that the recommended strategy is encouraging for solving other types of nonlinear delay differential equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Numerous mathematical models simulating the phenomenon in science and engineering use delay differential equations. In this paper, we focus on the semilinear delay differential equations, which include a wide range of mathematical models with time lags, such as reaction-diffusion equation with delay, model of bacteriophage predation on bacteria in a chemostat, and so on. This paper is concerned with the stability and convergence properties of exponential Runge–Kutta methods for semilinear delay differential equations. GDN-stability and D-convergence of exponential Runge–Kutta methods are investigated. These two concepts are generalizations of the classical AN-stability and B-convergence for ordinary differential equations to delay differential equations. Sufficient conditions for GDN-stability are given by a newly introduced concept of strong exponential algebraic stability. Further, with the aid of diagonal stability, we show that exponential Runge–Kutta methods are D-convergent. The D-convergent orders are also examined. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Starting from the leading role of public goods suppliers' supply strategies, the government's incentives and support to suppliers, and consumers' influence on public opinion and other factors, the matrix game models between public goods suppliers and between the suppliers and the government are established, respectively. Considering the delay of government and supplier strategies, establish two delay differential equations between the two suppliers and between the supplier and the government, obtain the evolutionary game model of public goods supply, and solve the equilibrium point of the evolutionary game model with or without delay and its stability. Then, through model parameter analysis, verify the rationality of public goods supplier's supply and government incentive strategy. Finally, through numerical simulation, it is verified that the delay does not affect the stability of the equilibrium point of the game party but changes the rate at which the game party's strategy reaches a steady state, conducive to rapid, scientific, and reasonable decision-making between the suppliers of public goods and between the government and suppliers.

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]

A new class of polynomials investigates the numerical solution of the fractional pantograph delay ordinary differential equations. These polynomials are equipped with an auxiliary unknown parameter a , which is obtained using the collocation and least-squares methods. In this study, the numerical solution of the fractional pantograph delay differential equation is displayed in the truncated series form. The upper bound of the solution as well as the error analysis and the rate of convergence theorem are also investigated in this study. In five examples, the numerical results of the present method have been compared with other methods. For the first time, a -polynomials are used in this study to numerically solve delay equations, and accurate approximations have been displayed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An effective numerical scheme based on Euler wavelets is proposed for numerically solving a class of neutral delay differential equations. The technique explores the numerical solution via Euler wavelet truncated series generated by a set of functions and matrix inversion of some collocation points. Based on the operational matrix, the neutral delay differential equations are reduced to a system of algebraic equations, which is solved through a numerical algorithm. The effectiveness and efficiency of the technique have been illustrated by several examples of neutral delay differential equations. The main advantages and key role of using the Euler wavelets in this work lie in the performance, accuracy, and computational cost of the proposed technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The pantograph equation arises in electrodynamics as a delay differential equation (DDE). In this article, we provide the ϑ -method for numerical solutions of pantograph equations. We investigate the stability conditions for the numerical schemes. The theoretical results are verified by numerical simulations. The theoretical results and numerical simulations show that implicit or partially implicit ϑ -methods, with ϑ > 1 / 2 , are effective in resolving stiff pantograph problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is devoted to studying a second-order nonlinear equation with mixed delays. Some sufficient conditions for the existence and exponential stability of the almost periodic solutions are established. The results of this paper extend the existing ones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Some researchers have combined two powerful techniques to establish a new method for solving fractional-order differential equations. In this study, we used a new combined technique, known as the Elzaki residual power series method (ERPSM), to offer approximate and exact solutions for fractional multipantograph systems (FMPS) and pantograph differential equations (PDEs). In Caputo logic, the fractional-order derivative operator is measured. The Elzaki transform method and the residual power series method (RPSM) are combined in this novel technique. The suggested technique is based on a new version of Taylor's series that generates a convergent series as a solution. Establishing the coefficients for a series, like the RPSM, necessitates computing the fractional derivatives each time. As ERPSM just requires the concept of a zero limit, we simply need a few computations to get the coefficients. The novel technique solves nonlinear problems without the need for He's and Adomian polynomials, which is an advantage over the other combined methods based on homotopy perturbation and Adomian decomposition methods. The relative, recurrence, and absolute errors of the problems are analyzed to evaluate the efficiency and consistency of the presented method. Graphical significances are also identified for various values of fractional-order derivatives. As a result, the procedure is quick, precise, and easy to implement, and it yields outstanding results.

In the article, we have proposed a new type of hybrid iterative scheme which is a hybrid of Picard and Thakur et al. repetitive schemes. This new hybrid iterative scheme converges faster than all leading schemes like Picard-S∗ hybrid, Picard-S, Picard-Ishikawa hybrid, Picard-Mann hybrid, Thakur et al. and Abbas and Nazir, S-iterative, Ishikawa and Mann iterative schemes for contraction mapping. By using the Picard-Thakur hybrid iterative scheme, we can find the solution of delay differential equations and also prove some convergence results for nonexpansive mapping in a uniformly convex Banach space. [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]

The work addresses the exponential moment stability of solutions of large systems of linear differential Itô equations with variable delays by means of a modified regularization method, which can be viewed as an alternative to the technique based on Lyapunov or Lyapunov-like functionals. The regularization method utilizes the parallelism between Lyapunov stability and input-to-state stability, which is well established in the deterministic case, but less known for stochastic differential equations. In its practical implementation, the method is based on seeking an auxiliary equation, which is used to regularize the equation to be studied. In the final step, estimation of the norm of an integral operator or verification of the property of positivity of solutions is performed. In the latter case, one applies the theory of positive invertible matrices. This report contains a systematic presentation of how the regularization method can be applied to stability analysis of linear stochastic delay equations with random coefficients and random initial conditions. Several stability results in terms of positive invertibility of certain matrices constructed for general stochastic systems with delay are obtained. A number of verifiable sufficient conditions for the exponential moment stability of solutions in terms of the coefficients for specific classes of Itô equations are offered as well.

This paper was aimed at investigating the stability of the following viscoelastic problem with Balakrishnân-Taylor damping and variable-exponent nonlinear time delay term u t t − M ∇ u 2 2 Δ u + α t ∫ 0 t g t − s Δ u s d s + μ 1 u t p. − 2 u t + μ 2 u t t − τ p. − 2 u t t − τ = 0 in Ω × ℝ + , where Ω is a bounded domain of ℝ n , p. : Ω ¯ ⟶ ℝ is a measurable function, g > 0 is a memory kernel that decays exponentially, α ≥ 0 is the potential, and M ∇ u 2 2 = a + b ∇ u t 2 2 + σ ∫ Ω ∇ u ∇ u t d x for some constants a > 0 , b ≥ 0 , and σ > 0. Under some assumptions on the relaxation function, we use some suitable Lyapunov functionals to derive the general decay estimate for the energy. The problem considered is novel and meaningful because of the presence of the flutter panel equation and the spillover problem including memory and variable-exponent time delay control. Our result generalizes and improves previous conclusion in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the E + -Conley index theory has been used to study the existence of periodic solutions of nonautonomous delay differential equations (in short, DDEs). The variational structure for DDEs is built, and the existence of periodic solutions of DDEs is transferred to that of critical points of the associated function. When DDEs are 2 π -nonresonant, some sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the existence of periodic solutions. When the system is 2 π -resonant at infinity, by making use a second disturbing of the original functional, some sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the existence of periodic solutions to DDEs.

In this study, we implemented a new numerical method known as the Chebyshev Pseudospectral method for solving nonlinear delay differential equations having fractional order. The fractional derivative is defined in Caputo manner. The proposed method is simple, effective, and straightforward as compared to other numerical techniques. To check the validity and accuracy of the proposed method, some illustrative examples are solved by using the present scenario. The obtained results have confirmed the greater accuracy than the modified Laguerre wavelet method, the Chebyshev wavelet method, and the modified wavelet-based algorithm. Moreover, based on the novelty and scientific importance, the present method can be extended to solve other nonlinear fractional-order delay differential equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is well known that the appearance of the delay in the fractional delay differential equation (FDDE) makes the convergence analysis very difficult. Dealing with the problem with the traditional reproducing kernel method (RKM) is very tricky. The feature of this paper is to gain a more credible approximate solution via fractional Taylor's series (FTS). We use the FTS to deal with the delay for improving the accuracy of the approximate solutions. Compared with other methods, the five numerical examples demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A numerical solution for neutral delay fractional order partial differential equations involving the Caputo fractional derivative is constructed. In line with this goal, the drift term and the time Caputo fractional derivative are discretized by a finite difference approximation. The energy method is used to investigate the rate of convergence and unconditional stability of the temporal discretization. The interpolation of moving Kriging technique is then used to approximate the space derivative, yielding a meshless numerical formulation. We conclude with some numerical experiments that validate the theoretical findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we presented an asymptotic SDFEM for singularly perturbed convection diffusion type differential difference equations with point source term. First, the solution is decomposed into two functions, among them one is the solution of delay differential equation and other one is the solution of differential equation with point source. Furthermore, using the asymptotic expansion approximation, the delay differential equation is modified as a nondelay differential equations. Streamline diffusion finite element methods are applied to approximate the solutions of the two problems. We prove that the present method gives an almost second‐order convergence in maximum norm and square integrable norm, whereas first‐order convergence in H1 norm. Numerical results are presented to validate the theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes a new fitted operator strategy for solving singularly perturbed parabolic partial differential equation with delay on the spatial variable. We decomposed the problem into three piecewise equations. The delay term in the equation is expanded by Taylor series, the time variable is discretized by implicit Euler method, and the space variable is discretized by central difference methods. After developing the fitting operator method, we accelerate the order of convergence of the time direction using Richardson extrapolation scheme and obtained O h 2 + k 2 uniform order of convergence. Finally, three examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the method. The result shows the proposed method is more accurate than some of the methods that exist in the literature.

This study aims at constructing a robust numerical scheme for solving singularly perturbed parabolic delay differential equations arising in the modeling of neuronal variability. Taylor's series expansion is applied to approximate the shift terms. The obtained result is approximated by using the implicit Euler method in the temporal discretization on a uniform step size with the hybrid numerical scheme consisting of the midpoint upwind method in the outer layer region and the cubic spline in tension method in the inner layer region on a piecewise uniform Shishkin mesh in the spatial discretization. The constructed scheme is shown to be an ε‐uniformly convergent accuracy of order OΛt+N−2ln3N. Two model examples are given to testify the theoretical findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the qualitative property of third-order nonlinear neutral distributed-delay generalized difference equations.

In this paper, we study a kind of near optimal control problem which is described by linear quadratic doubly stochastic differential equations with time delay. We consider the near optimality for the linear delayed doubly stochastic system with convex control domain. We discuss the case that all the time delay variables are different. We give the maximum principle of near optimal control for this kind of time delay system. The necessary condition for the control to be near optimal control is deduced by Ekeland's variational principle and some estimates on the state and the adjoint processes corresponding to the system.

This paper is concerned with the numerical solutions of semilinear stochastic delay differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion (G-SLSDDEs). The existence and uniqueness of exact solutions of G-SLSDDEs are studied by using some inequalities and the Picard iteration scheme first. Then the numerical approximation of exponential Euler method for G-SLSDDEs is constructed, and the convergence and the stability of the numerical method are studied. It is proved that the exponential Euler method is convergent, and it can reproduce the stability of the analytical solution under some restrictions. Numerical experiments are presented to confirm the theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this research, an approximation symbolic algorithm is suggested to obtain an approximate solution of multipantograph system of type delay differential equations (DDEs) using a combination of Laplace transform and variational iteration algorithm (VIA). The corresponding convergence results are acquired, and an efficient algorithm for choosing a feasible Lagrange multiplier is designed in the solving process. The application of the Laplace variational iteration algorithm (LVIA) for the problems is clarified. With graphics and tables, LVIA approximates to a high degree of accuracy with a few numbers of iterates. Also, computational results of the considered examples imply that LVIA is accurate, simple, and appropriate for solving a system of multipantograph delay differential equations (SMPDDEs).

In this paper, a vector-borne disease model with two delays and reinfection is established and considered. First of all, the existence of the equilibrium of the system, under different cases of two delays, is discussed through analyzing the corresponding characteristic equation of the linear system. Some conditions that the system undergoes Hopf bifurcation at the endemic equilibrium are obtained. Furthermore, by employing the normal form method and the center manifold theorem for delay differential equations, some explicit formulas used to describe the properties of bifurcating periodic solutions are derived. Finally, the numerical examples and simulations are presented to verify our theoretical conclusions. Meanwhile, the influences of the degree of partial protection for recovered people acquired by a primary infection on the endemic equilibrium and the critical values of the two delays are analyzed.

Summary: In this paper, an adaptive mesh selection strategy is presented for solving a weakly coupled system of singularly perturbed delay differential equations of convection‐diffusion type using second order central finite difference scheme. Layer adaptive mesh is generated via an entropy production operator. The details of the location and width of the boundary layer is not required in the proposed method unlike the popular layer adaptive meshes mainly by Bakhvalov and Shishkin. The method is independent of perturbation parameter and gives us an oscillation‐free solution. The applicability of the proposed method is illustrated by means of three examples.

In this article, an efficient numerical approach for the solution of second-order delay differential equations to deal with the experimentation of the Internet of Industrial Things (IIoT) is presented. With the help of the Haar wavelet technique, the considered problem is transformed into a system of algebraic equations which is then solved for the required results by using Gauss elimination algorithm. Some numerical examples for convergence of the proposed technique are taken from the literature. Maximum absolute and root mean square errors are calculated for various collocation points. The results show that the Haar wavelet method is an effective method for solving delay differential equations of second order. The convergence rate is also measured for various collocation points, which is almost equal to 2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As an application, we give two representative examples to show the validity of our theories. [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.

The variable-spindle-speed (VSS) technique is effective in preventing regenerative chatter in milling processes. However, spindle-speed-modulation parameters should be deliberately selected to augment the material removal rate. Stability-prediction algorithms of stability predicting play an important role in this respect, as they allow the prediction of stability for all ranges of a given spindle speed. The increase in calculation time in variable-spindle-speed milling, which is caused by the modulation frequency, hinders its practical use in the workshop. In this paper, a Runge–Kutta-based complete discretization method (RKCDM) is presented to predict the stability of milling with variable spindle speeds, which is described by a set of delay differential equations (DDEs) with time-periodic coefficients and time-varying delay. The convergence and calculation efficiency are compared with those of the semidiscretization method (SDM) under different testing configurations and milling conditions. Results show that RKCDM is more accurate and saves at least 50% of the calculation time of SDM. The effects of modulation parameters on the stability of VSS milling are explored through stability lobe diagrams produced from RKCDM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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.

As an application, three typical examples are delineated to demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider a hybrid network model of delayed predator-prey Gompertz systems with impulsive diffusion between two patches, in which the patches represent nodes of the network such that the prey population interacts locally in each patch and diffusion occurs along the edges connecting the nodes. Using the discrete dynamical system determined by the stroboscopic map which has a globally stable positive fixed point, we obtain the global attractive condition of predator-extinction periodic solution for the network system. Furthermore, by employing the theory of delay functional and impulsive differential equation, we obtain sufficient condition with time delay for the permanence of the network. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this work is to present a virological model for cancer therapy that includes the innate immune response and saturation effect. The presented model combines both the evolution of a logistic growing tumor and time delay which stands for the period of the viral lytic cycle. We use the delay differential equation in order to model this time which also means the time needed for the infected tumor cells to produce new virions after viral entry. We show that the delayed model has four equilibria which are the desired outcome therapy equilibrium, the complete failure therapy equilibrium, the partial success therapy free-immune equilibrium when the innate immune response has not been established, and the partial success therapy equilibrium with immune response. Furthermore, the stability analysis of equilibria and the Hopf bifurcation are properly exhibited. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider the problem of investment and reinsurance with time delay under the compound Poisson model of two-dimensional dependent claims. Suppose an insurance company controls the claim risk of two kinds of dependent insurance businesses by purchasing proportional reinsurance and invests its wealth in a financial market composed of a risk-free asset and a risk asset. The risk asset price process obeys the geometric Brownian motion. By introducing the capital flow related to the historical performance of the insurer, the wealth process described by stochastic delay differential equation (SDDE) is obtained. The extended HJB equation is obtained by using the stochastic control theory under the framework of game theory. Under the reinsurance expected premium principle, optimal time-consistent investment and reinsurance strategy and the corresponding value function are obtained. Finally, the influence of model parameters on the optimal strategy is explained by numerical analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, an optimal portfolio control problem of DC pension is studied where the time interval between the implementation of investment behavior and its effectiveness (hereafter input-delay) is particularly focused. There are two assets available for investment: a risk-free cash bond and a risky stock with a jump-diffusion process. And the wealth process of the pension fund is modeled as a stochastic delay differential equation. To secure a comfortable retirement life for pension members and also avoid excessive risk, the fund managers in this paper aim to minimize the expected value of quadratic deviations between the actual terminal fund scale and a preset terminal target. By applying the stochastic dynamic programming approach and the match method, the optimal portfolio control problem is solved and the closed-form solution is obtained. In addition, an algorithm is developed to calculate the numerical solution of the optimal strategy. Finally, we have performed a sensitivity analysis to explore how the managers' preset terminal target, the length of input-delay, and the jump intensity of risky assets affect the optimal investment strategy.

Dynamic stability problems leading to delay differential equations (DDEs) are found in many different fields of science and engineering. In this paper, a method for stability analysis of periodic DDEs with multiple distributed and time-varying delays is proposed, based on the well-known semidiscretization method. In order to verify the correctness of the proposed method, two typical application examples, i.e., milling process with a variable helix cutter and milling process with variable spindle speed, which can be, respectively, described by DDEs with the multidistributed and time-varying delays are considered. Then, comparisons with prior methods for stability prediction are made to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach. As far as the milling process is concerned, the proposed method supplies a generalized algorithm to analyze the stability of the single milling systems associated with variable pith cutter, variable helix cutter, or variable spindle speed; it also can be utilized to analyze the combined systems of the aforementioned cases.

In this study, a novel second-order prediction differential model is designed, and numerical solutions of this novel model are presented using the integrated strength of the Adams and explicit Runge–Kutta schemes. The idea of the present study comes to the mind to see the importance of delay differential equations. For verification of the novel designed model, four different examples of the designed model are numerically solved by applying the Adams and explicit Runge–Kutta schemes. These obtained numerical results have been compared with the exact solutions of each example that indicate the performance and exactness of the designed model. Moreover, the results of the designed model have been presented numerically and graphically. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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]
