Abstract:
We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic orbits of some systems of delay differential equations with a unique delay. We extend Kaplan-Yorke’s method for finding periodic orbits from a delay differential equation with several delays to a system of delay differential equations with a unique delay.
