Abstract:This work aims to investigate a delay hematopoiesis model where the delay depends on both the time and the current density of mature blood cells. Based on the Banach contraction principle, the Schauder's fixed point theorem and some properties of a Green's function, we establish several interesting existence and uniqueness results of positive periodic solutions for the proposed model. The derived results are new and generalize some previous studies.
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.
