Abstract:
We consider a scalar delay differential equation with a small parameter, and employ Walthers method to obtain a result on the existence and stability of a slowly oscillatory periodic solution that represents a refinement of the estimate for the Lipschitz constant of a returning map. We also develop a matching method and obtain asymptotic expansions of the slowly oscillatory periodic solution and its minimal period.Dedicated to Professor Shui-Nee Chow on the occasion of his 60th birthdayAMS subject classifications: 34K15; 34K20; 34C25.
