Stability, boundedness and existence of a unique periodic solution to certain second order nonlinear delay differential equations is discussed. By employing Lyapunov's direct (or second) method, a complete Lyapunov functional is constructed and used to establish sufficient conditions, on the nonlinear terms, that guarantee uniform asymptotic stability, uniform ultimate boundedness and existence of a unique periodic solution. Obtained results complement many outstanding recent results in the literature. Finally, examples are given to show the effectiveness of our method and correctness of our results.

The behaviour of solutions for certain third-order nonlinear differential equations with multiple deviating arguments is considered. By employing Lyapunov's second method, a complete Lyapunov functional is constructed and used to establish sufficient conditions that guarantee existence of unique solutions that are periodic, uniformly asymptotically stable, and uniformly ultimately bounded. Obtained results not only are new but also include many outstanding results in the literature. Finally, the correctness and effectiveness of the results are justified with examples.

In this paper, we use Lyapunov’s second method, by constructing a complete Lyapunov functional, sufficient conditions which guarantee existence and uniqueness of a periodic solution, uniform asymptotic stability of the trivial solution and uniform ultimate boundedness of solutions of Eq. (2). New results are obtained and proved, an example is given to illustrate the theoretical analysis in the work and to test the effectiveness of the method employed. The results obtained in this investigation extend many existing and exciting results on nonlinear third order delay differential equations.
