“…The periodic solution problem for neutral differential equations attracted much attention during the past years, see [1]- [13]. In 2009, Ren and Cheng [13] discussed the following high-order neutral differential equation (φ p (x(t) − cx(t − τ)) (l) ) (n−l) = F(t, x(t), x (t), • • • , x (l−1) (t)), (1.1) where p ≥ 2, φ p (x) = |x| p−2 x for x = 0 and φ p (0) = 0. The existence of periodic solutions for equation (1.1) was obtained in the general case (i.e., |c| = 1 in [12]) and in the critical case (i.e.…”
