We use the contraction mapping theorem to obtain stability results of the scalar nonlinear neutral differential equation with functional delay
𝑥′(𝑡) = –𝑎𝑥(𝑡) + 𝑏(𝑡)𝑥2(𝑡 – 𝑟(𝑡)) + 𝑐(𝑡)𝑥(𝑡 – 𝑟(𝑡))𝑥′(𝑡 – 𝑟(𝑡)).
In this paper, we consider a class of second order differential equations with iterative source term. The main results are obtained by virtue of a Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem and some useful properties of a Green's function which allows us to prove the existence of positive periodic solutions. Finally, an example is included to illustrate the correctness of our results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
