Global Existence for Two Singular One-Dimensional Nonlinear Viscoelastic Equations with respect to Distributed Delay Term by Abdelbaki Choucha, Salah Mahmoud Boulaaras, Djamel Ouchenane, Ali Allahem

“…In this current work, we are interested in a system of two singular one-dimensional nonlinear equations with a viscoelastic, general source and distributed delay terms. The existence of a global solution is established by the theory of potential well, and by using the energy method with the function of Lyapunov, we prove the general decay result of our system.…”

Finite-Time Synchronization for a Class of Multiweighted Complex Networks with Markovian Switching and Time-Varying Delay by Ying Liu, Fei Chen, Bin Yang, Xin Wang, Weiming Wang

“…In this paper, we investigate the finite-time synchronization control for a class of nonlinear coupled multiweighted complex networks (NCMWCNs) with Markovian switching and time-varying delay analytically and quantitatively. The value of this study lies in four aspects: First, it designs the finite-time synchronization controller to make the NCMWCNs with Markovian switching and time-varying delay achieve global synchronization in finite time. …”

Analytic Solutions of a Second-Order Functional Differential Equation with a State Derivative Dependent Delay by Jiraphorn Somsuwan, Keaitsuda Maneeruk Nakprasit

“…We investigate an analytic solution of the second-order differential equation with a state derivative dependent delay of the form x″(z)=x(p(z)+bx′(z)). Considering a convergent power series g(z) of an auxiliary equation γ2g″(γz)g′(z)=[g(γ2z)-p(g(γz))]γg′(γz)(g′(z))2+p′′(g(z))(g′(z))3+γg′(γz)g″(z) with the relation p(z)+bx′(z)=g(γg-1(z)), we obtain an analytic solution x(z). …”
