Abstract: In this paper, some sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the existence of multiple periodic solutions with minimal period 4 of the delay differential equation by using relative Morse index and some considerate analysis techniques. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: We establish a coupled fixed point theorem for a meaningful class of mixed monotone multivalued operators, and then we use it to derive some results on the existence of quasisolutions and unique solutions to first-order functional differential equations with state-dependent deviating arguments. Our results are very general and can be applied to functional equations featuring discontinuities with respect to all of their arguments, but we emphasize that they are new even for differential equations with continuously state-dependent delays.

This article is concerned with the stability of θ-methods for linear delay-integro-differential systems. The linear θ-methods for the modified linear delay-integro-differential systems are established. It is shown that the linear θ-methods are GP-stable if θ∈[1/2, 1]. Finally, some numerical experiments are given to demonstrate the conclusions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: We consider the symmetric schemes in Boundary Value Methods (BVMs) applied to delay differential equations with real coefficients a and b. If the numerical solution tends to zero whenever the exact solution does, the symmetric scheme with -boundary conditions is called -stable. Three families of symmetric schemes, namely the Extended Trapezoidal Rules of first (ETRs) and second (ETR2s) kind, and the Top Order Methods (TOMs), are considered in this paper. By using the boundary locus technology, the delay-dependent stability region of the symmetric schemes are analyzed and their boundaries are found. Then by using a necessary and sufficient condition, the considered symmetric schemes are proved to be -stable. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
