“…The simplest ordinary differential equation (ODE) with delay has the form u t = F(u, w), w = u(t − τ), (1) where F is a function. Delay ODEs arise in population theory , medicine [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35], epidemiology [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], economy [45][46][47][48], climatology [49], mechanics [50], control theory [51], the mathematical theory of artificial neural networks [52][53][54][55][56][57], etc. However, the processes occurring in such systems are often spatially inhomogeneous, which leads to the use of more complex reaction-diffusion equations (RDEs) with a constant delay (see, e.g, [58,59]):…”
