ABSTRACT. In this paper, sufficient conditions are obtained, so that the second order neutral delay differential equationhas a positive and bounded solution, where , ℎ,, ∈ (ℝ, ℝ) and ∈ ℝ + . In our work ( ) ≡ 1 is admissible and neither we assume is non-decreasing, ( ) > 0 for ∕ = 0, nor we take is Lipschitzian. Hence the results of this paper improve many recent results.
