Global Continua of Rapidly Oscillating Periodic Solutions of State-Dependent Delay Differential Equations

We apply our recently developed global Hopf bifurcation theory to examine global continuation with respect to the parameter for periodic solutions of functional differential equations with state-dependent delay. We give sufficient geometric conditions to ensure the uniform boundedness of periodic solutions, obtain an upper bound of the period of non-constant periodic solutions in a connected component of Hopf bifurcation, and establish the existence of rapidly oscillating periodic solutions.
