Positive periodic solutions for a nonlinear differential system with two parameters

In this article, we investigate a nonlinear system of differential equations with two parameters $$\left\{ \begin{array}{l} x"(t)=a(t)x(t)-\lambda f(t, x(t), y(t)),\y"(t)=-b(t)y(t)+\mu g(t, x(t), y(t)),\end{array}\right.$$ where $a,b \in C(\textbf{R},\textbf{R}_+)$ are $\omega-$periodic for some period $\omega > 0$, $a,b \not\equiv 0$, $f,g \in C(\textbf{R} \times \textbf{R}_+ \times \textbf{R}_+ ,\textbf{R}_+)$ are $\omega-$periodic functions in $t$, $\lambda$ and $\mu$ are positive parameters. Based upon a new fixed point theorem, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of positive periodic solutions to this system for any fixed $\lambda,\mu>0$. Finally, we give a simple example to illustrate our main result.     

Bifurcation of periodic solutions of delay differential equation with two delays

In this paper, we develop Kaplan-Yorke's method and consider the existence of periodic solutions for delay differential equations with two delays. Especially, we study Hopf and saddle-node bifurcations of periodic solutions for the equation with parameters, and give conditions under which the bifurcations occur.     

Existence of positive periodic solutions of impulsive functional differential equations with two parameters

In this paper, we employ a well-known fixed-point index theorem to study the existence and non-existence of positive periodic solutions for the periodic impulsive functional differential equations with two parameters. Several existence and non-existence results are established.     

Meromorphic solutions of a Riccati differential equation with a doubly periodic coefficient

We treat a Riccati differential equation w^′+w²+p(z)=0, where p(z) is a nonconstant doubly periodic meromorphic function. Under certain assumptions, every solution is meromorphic in the whole complex plane. We show that the growth order of it is equal to 2, and examine the frequency of α-points and poles. Furthermore, the number of doubly periodic solutions is discussed.     

Bifurcation of periodic solutions with large periods for a delay differential equation

We consider a one-parameter family of delay differential equations which has been proposed as a model for a prize and prove that at a critical parameter where the linearization at equilibrium has a double zero eigenvalue periodic solutions bifurcate off with periods descending from infinity.

Existence of positive periodic solutions for a functional differential equation with a parameter

In this paper, we study the existence, multiplicity and nonexistence of positive ω$\omega$-periodic solutions for a kind of nonautonomous functional differential equation by employing the fixed point theorem in cones. Some new results are obtained. As an application of our results, we discuss the existence of a positive periodic solution for a class of models of blood cell production with a parameter, which has not been investigated by using previous methods.

A conjecture on the stability of the periodic solutions of Ricker’s equation with periodic parameters

In this work, we propose a conjecture about the stability of the periodic solutions of the Ricker equation with periodic parameters, which goes beyond the existing theory, and for the special case of period-two parameters we analytically show the conjecture is true. For this case we show that the stability region in parameter space obtained from the conjecture is larger than a previously proposed stability region. The period-three case is investigated numerically and similar extensions are realized. This suggests that the current theory cited in this paper, while giving sufficient conditions for stability is far from optimal.     

Criterion of periodicity of solutions of a certain differential equation with a periodic coefficient

Summary In this paper the differential equation (1) y″=q(t)y is considered where q(t) is a real continuous function with period π. There is proved a necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of the trivial solution of Equation (1) when the zeros of the characteristic equation λ² - Aλ+1=0, coincide. Moreover, there is shown the construction of all Equations (1) admitting only periodic or half-periodic solutions with period π.

Mean periodic solutions of a linear inhomogeneous first-order differential equation with random coefficients

We obtain deterministic first-order linear differential equations with ordinary and variational derivatives and deterministic initial conditions for the expectation and the second moment function of the solution of an ordinary scalar first-order linear inhomogeneous differential equation whose coefficients are random processes. We derive existence conditions for mean periodic solutions. In particular, we consider Gaussian and uniformly distributed random coefficients.     

A note on decay properties for the solutions of a class of partial differential equation with memory

The purpose of this article is to study decay properties for solutions of a class of PDEs with memory by Lyapunov functionals method. Moreover, we prove that when the kernels of the convolutions decay exponentially, the first and second order energy of the solutions decay exponentially. Also we show that when the kernels decay polynomially, these energies decay polynomially.     

A periodic solution of a differential equation with state-dependent delay

We study a differential equation for delayed negative feedback which models a situation where the delay depends on the present state and becomes effective in the future. The main result is existence of a periodic solution in case the equilibrium is linearly unstable. The proof employs the ejective fixed point principle on a compact convex set K₀⊂C([−h,0],R) of Lipschitz continuous functions and uses that the equation generates a smooth semiflow on an infinite-dimensional submanifold of the space C¹([−h,0],R).
