Stability switches in a system of linear differential equations with diagonal delay

This paper deals with the stability problem of a delay differential system of the form x^′(t)=-ax(t-τ)-by(t), y^′(t)=-cx(t)-ay(t-τ), where a, b, and c are real numbers and τ is a positive number. We establish some necessary and sufficient conditions for the zero solution of the system to be asymptotically stable. In particular, as τ increases monotonously from 0, the zero solution of the system switches finite times from stability to instability to stability if ; and from instability to stability to instability if . As an application, we investigate the local asymptotic stability of a positive equilibrium of delayed Lotka-Volterra systems.     

Asymptotic behavior and stability of second order neutral delay differential equations

We study the asymptotic behavior of a class of second order neutral delay differential equations by both a spectral projection method and an ordinary differential equation method approach. We discuss the relation of these two methods and illustrate some features using examples. Furthermore, a fixed point method is introduced as a third approach to study the asymptotic behavior. We conclude the paper with an application to a mechanical model of turning processes.

Asymptotic stability of linear multistep methods for nonlinear neutral delay differential equations

This paper is concerned with the numerical solution to initial value problems of nonlinear delay differential equations of neutral type. We use A-stable linear multistep methods to compute the numerical solution. The asymptotic stability of the A-stable linear multistep methods when applied to the nonlinear delay differential equations of neutral type is investigated, and it is shown that the A-stable linear multistep methods with linear interpolation are GAS-stable. We validate our conclusions by numerical experiments.     

Delay-dependent stability analysis of multistep methods for delay differential equations

This paper deals with the delay-dependent stability of numerical methods for delay differential equations. First, a stability criterion of Runge-Kutta methods is extended to the case of general linear methods. Then, linear multistep methods are considered and a class of r（0）-stable methods are found. Later, some examples of r（0）-stable multistep multistage methods are given. Finally, numerical experiments are presented to confirm the theoretical results.     

Uniform asymptotic stability for perturbed neutral delay differential equations

One-dimensional perturbed neutral delay differential equations of the form (x(t)−P(t,x(t−τ)))′=f(t,x_t)+g(t,x_t) are considered assuming that f satisfies −v(t)M(φ)?f(t,φ)?v(t)M(−φ), where M(φ)=max{0,max_s∈[−r,0]φ(s)}. A typical result is the following: if ‖g(t,φ)‖?w(t)‖φ‖ and , then the zero solution is uniformly asymptotically stable providing that the zero solution of the corresponding equation without perturbation (x(t)−P(t,x(t−τ)))′=f(t,x_t) is uniformly asymptotically stable. Some known results associated with this equation are extended and improved.

Conditional linearizability criteria for a system of third-order ordinary differential equations

We provide linearizability criteria for a class of systems of two third-order ordinary differential equations that is cubically nonlinear in the first derivative, by differentiating a system of second-order quadratically nonlinear ordinary differential equations and using the original system to replace the second derivatives. The procedure developed splits into two cases: those for which the coefficients are constant and those for which they are variables. Both cases are discussed and examples given.

Nonlinear stability of general linear methods for neutral delay differential equations

This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of neutral delay differential equations (NDDEs). We focus on the stability of general linear methods with piecewise linear interpolation. The new concepts of GS(p)$GS\left(p\right)$-stability, GAS(p)$GAS\left(p\right)$-stability and weak GAS(p)$GAS\left(p\right)$-stability are introduced. These stability properties for (k,p,0)$(k,p,0)$-algebraically stable general linear methods (GLMs) are further investigated. Some extant results are unified.     

Asymptotic stability of solutions for some classes of impulsive differential equations with distributed delay

In this paper we show the asymptotic stability of the solutions of some differential equations with delay and subject to impulses. After proving the existence of mild solutions on the half-line, we give a Gronwall–Bellman-type theorem. These results are prodromes of the theorem on the asymptotic stability of the mild solutions to a semilinear differential equation with functional delay and impulses in Banach spaces and of its application to a parametric differential equation driving a population dynamics model.     

The exact boundaries of the stability domains of linear differential equations with distributed delay

Global stability and the Hopf bifurcation for some class of delay differential equation

In this paper, we present an analysis for the class of delay differential equations with one discrete delay and the right‐hand side depending only on the past. We extend the results from paper by U. Fory? (Appl. Math. Lett. 2004; 17 (5):581–584), where the right‐hand side is a unimodal function. In the performed analysis, we state more general conditions for global stability of the positive steady state and propose some conditions for the stable Hopf bifurcation occurring when this steady state looses stability. We illustrate the analysis by biological examples coming from the population dynamics. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

There are few results on the numerical stability of nonlinear neutral stochastic delay differential equations (NSDDEs). The aim of this paper is to establish some new results on the numerical stability for nonlinear NSDDEs. It is proved that the semi-implicit Euler method is mean-square stable under suitable condition. The theoretical result is also confirmed by a numerical experiment.

Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.

The long term behavior of solutions of stochastic delay differential equations with a fading stochastic perturbations is investigated. It is shown that if the level of stochastic perturbations fades on the infinity, for instance, if it is given by square integrable function, then an asymptotically stable deterministic system remains to be an asymptotically stable (in mean square).     

Existence and exponential stability of periodic solution for impulsive delay differential equations and applications

In this paper, we consider a class of nonlinear impulsive delay differential equations. By establishing an exponential estimate for delay differential inequality with impulsive initial condition and employing Banach fixed point theorem, we obtain several sufficient conditions ensuring the existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of a periodic solution for nonlinear impulsive delay differential equations. Furthermore, the criteria are applied to analyze dynamical behavior of impulsive delay Hopfield neural networks and the results show different behavior of impulsive system originating from one continuous system.     

Exponential stability of singularly perturbed impulsive delay differential equations

In this paper, the exponential stability of singularly perturbed impulsive delay differential equations (SPIDDEs) is concerned. We first establish a delay differential inequality, which is useful to deal with the stability of SPIDDEs, and then by the obtained inequality, a sufficient condition is provided to ensure that any solution of SPIDDEs is exponentially stable for sufficiently small ε>0. A numerical example and the simulation result show the effectiveness of our theoretical result.
