Positive Periodic Solution for the Generalized Neutral Differential Equation with Multiple Delays and Impulse by Zhenguo Luo, Liping Luo, Yunhui Zeng

“…By using a fixed point theorem of strict-set-contraction, which is different from Gaines and Mawhin's continuation theorem and abstract continuation theory for k-set contraction, we established some new criteria for the existence of positive periodic solution of the following generalized neutral delay functional differential equation with impulse: x'(t)=x(t)[a(t)-f(t,x(t),x(t-τ1(t,x(t))),…,x(t-τn(t,x(t))),x'(t-γ1(t,x(t))),…,x'(t-γm(t,x(t))))],  t≠tk,  k∈Z+;  x(tk+)=x(tk-)+θk(x(tk)),  k∈Z+. …”

Global Behavior of the Difference Equation xn+1=xn-1g(xn) by Hongjian Xi, Taixiang Sun, Bin Qin, Hui Wu

“…We consider the following difference equation xn+1=xn-1g(xn), n=0,1,…, where initial values x-1,x0∈[0,+∞) and g:[0,+∞)→(0,1] is a strictly decreasing continuous surjective function. We show the following. (1) Every positive solution of this equation converges to a,0,a,0, …, or 0,a,0,a,… for some a∈[0,+∞). (2) Assume a∈(0,+∞). …”

Discrete or distributed delay? Effects on stability of population growth by Edoardo Beretta, Dimitri Breda

“…The growth of a population subject to maturation delay is modeled by using either a discrete delay or a delay continuously distributed over the population. The occurrence of stability switches (stable-unstable-stable) of the positive equilibrium as the delay increases is investigated in both cases. …”

Characterization Theorems for Generalized Functionals of Discrete-Time Normal Martingale by Caishi Wang, Jinshu Chen
