Uniform persistence and periodic solutions for a discrete predator-prey system with delays

In this paper, we deal with a discrete predator-prey system with delay. We first give a sufficient condition for the uniform persistence of the system. Assuming that the coefficients in the system are periodic, by generalizing the Yoshizawa's theorem on the existence of periodic solution for ordinary differential equations to the difference equations with delays, we obtain the existence of a periodic solution basing on the uniform persistence result.     

Existence theorems for some abstract nonlinear non-autonomous systems with delays

For some abstract classes of nonlinear non-autonomous systems with variable and state-dependent delays existence, non-existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions are discussed. To illustrate the efficiency of the method, we obtain some well-known results for applied systems as corollaries of our existence theorems.

Asymptotic constancy for a linear differential system with multiple delays

In this letter we consider a linear differential system with multiple delays which has nonisolated equilibria. In order to study the asymptotic behavior of linear delay differential equations, characteristic equations are generally used. But it is hard to establish the properties of zeros of the characteristic equations, especially if there are multiple time delays. So we use the invariance principle combined with two functionals to show whether any solutions converge. One of the functionals plays the role of a Lyapunov functional, and the other is a conserved quantity. Furthermore we give explicit expressions for the limits of the solutions by using the conserved quantity.     

Positive periodic solutions for a system of anisotropic parabolic equations

We consider a system of two degenerate parabolic equations with nonlocal terms and Dirichlet boundary conditions. More precisely, the degeneracy in each equation of the system is of the type r(x)-Laplacian where r(x) is a function depending on x∈Ω, where Ω is a bounded smooth domain of Rn. The system models the diffusion and the interaction between two different biological species sharing the same territory Ω. The paper provides conditions on the parameters of the problem that guarantee the coexistence of a T-periodic non-negative solution (u,v) with both non-trivial u,v.

Uniform persistence for a two-species ratio-dependent predator-prey system with diffusion and variable time delays

A two-species ratio-dependent predator-prey diffusion model with variable time delays is investigated. By constructing some suitable Lyapunov functionals and utilizing some analysis techniques, we obtain the permanence of this system. Our results generalize and improve the results of [10] and [11].

Periodic solutions of a class of degenerate parabolic system with delays

This paper is concerned with a class of periodic degenerate parabolic system with time delays in a bounded domain under mixed boundary condition. Under locally Lipschitz condition on reaction functions, we apply Schauder fixed point theorem to obtain the existence of periodic solutions of the periodic problem. With quasi-monotonicity in addition, we also show that the periodic problem has a maximal and a minimal periodic solutions. Applications of the obtained results are also given to some nonlinear diffusion models arising from ecology.     

Synchronized Hopf bifurcation analysis in a neural network model with delays

We consider the synchronized periodic oscillation in a ring neural network model with two different delays in self-connection and nearest neighbor coupling. Employing the center manifold theorem and normal form method introduced by Hassard et al., we give an algorithm for determining the Hopf bifurcation properties. Using the global Hopf bifurcation theorem for FDE due to Wu and Bendixson's criterion for high-dimensional ODE due to Li and Muldowney, we obtain several groups of conditions that guarantee the model have multiple synchronized periodic solutions when the transfer coefficient or time delay is sufficiently large.     

On the behavior of the solutions to periodic linear delay differential and difference equations

Some new results on the behavior of the solutions to periodic linear delay differential equations as well as to periodic linear delay difference equations are given. These results are obtained by the use of two distinct roots of the corresponding (so called) characteristic equation.

On two classes of autonomous third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations

Two autonomous, nonlinear, third-order ordinary differential equations whose dynamics can be represented by second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations for the first-order derivative of the solution are studied analytically and numerically. The analytical study includes both the obtention of closed-form solutions and the use of an artificial parameter method that provides approximations to both the solution and the frequency of oscillations. It is shown that both the analytical solution and the accuracy of the artificial parameter method depend greatly on the sign of the nonlinearities and the initial value of the first-order derivative.     

On the existence of solutions for strongly nonlinear differential equations

The objectives of this paper are twofold. Firstly, to prove the existence of an approximate solution in the mean for some nonlinear differential equations, we also investigate the behavior of the class of solutions which may be associated with the differential equation. Secondly, we aim to implement the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to find analytic solutions for strongly nonlinear differential equations.
