Some New Oscillation Results for Fourth-Order Neutral Differential Equations with a Canonical Operator

By this work, our aim is to study oscillatory behaviour of solutions to 4th-order differential equation of neutral type L y ′ + ∑ j = 1 k q j y z β g j y = 0 where L y = ξ y w ‴ y α , w y : = z y + r y z g ˜ y . By using the comparison method with first-order differential inequality, we find new oscillation conditions for this equation.

ON ASYMPTOTIC PROPERTIES OF THE CAUCHY FUNCTION FOR AUTONOMOUS FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION OF NEUTRAL TYPE

We investigate stability of a linear autonomous functional differential equation of neutral type. The basis of the study is the well-known explicit solution representation formula including an integral operator, the kernel of which is called the Cauchy function of the equation under study. It is shown that the definitions of Lyapunov, asymptotic and exponential stabilities can be formulated without loss of generality in terms of the corresponding properties of the Cauchy function. The conclusion is drawn that stability with respect to initial data depends on the functional space which the initial function belongs to, and, as a consequence, that there is the need to indicate this space in the definition of stability. It is shown that, along with the concept of asymptotic stability, a certain stronger property should be introduced, which we call strong asymptotic stability. The main study is devoted to stability with respect to initial function from spaces of integrable functions. Special attention is paid to the study of asymptotic and exponential stability. We use the following known properties of the Cauchy function of an equation of neutral type: this function is piecewise continuous, and its jumps are determined by a Cauchy problem for a linear difference equation. We obtain that the strong asymptotic stability of the equation under consideration for initial data from the space L1 is equivalent to an exponential estimate of the Cauchy function and; moreover, we show that these properties are equivalent to the exponential stability with respect to initial data from the spaces Lp for all p from 1 to infinity inclusive. However, we show that strong asymptotic stability with respect to the initial data from the space Lp for p greater than one may not coincide with exponential stability.

PERIODIC SOLUTIONS FOR SOME NONLINEAR PARTIAL NEUTRAL FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

In this work, we study the existence of periodic solutions for some nonlinear partial functional differential equation of neutral type. We assume that the linear part is nondensely defined and satisfies the Hille–Yosida condition. The delayed part is assumed to be ω-periodic with respect to the first argument. Using a fixed point theorem for multivalued mapping, some sufficient conditions are given to prove the existence of periodic solutions.
