Periodic Solutions of a Delay Differential Equation with a Periodic Multiplier

A simple non-autonomous scalar differential equation with delay, exponential decay, nonlinear negative feedback and a periodic multiplicative coefficient is considered. It is shown that stable slowly oscillating periodic solutions with the period of the feedback coefficient, and also with the double period of the feedback coefficient exist. The periodic solutions are built explicitly in the case of piecewise constant feedback function and the periodic coefficient. The periodic dynamics are shown to persist under small perturbations of the equation which make it smooth. The results are confirmed and illustrated by numerical simulations.

Periodic Solutions in a Simple Delay Differential Equation

Simple form scalar differential equation with delay and nonlinear negative periodic feedback is considered. The existence of several types of slowly oscillating periodic solutions is shown with the same and double periods of the feedback coefficient. The periodic solutions are built explicitly in the case of piecewise constant nonlinearities involved. The periodic dynamics are shown to persist under small perturbations of the equation which make it smooth. The theoretical results are verified by extensive numerical simulations.

Explicit Periodic Solutions in a Delay Differential Equation

We construct stable periodic solutions for a simple form nonlinear delay differential equation (DDE) with a periodic coefficient. The equation involves one underlying nonlinearity with the multiplicative periodic coefficient. The well-known idea of reduction to interval maps is used in the case under consideration, when both the defining nonlinearity and the periodic coefficient are piece-wise constant functions. The stable periodic dynamics persist under a smoothing procedure in a small neighborhood of the discontinuity set. This work continues the research in recent paper [7] on stable periodic solutions of differential delay equations with periodic coefficients.

A note on the existence of non-monotone non-oscillating wavefronts

In this note, we present a monostable delayed reaction-diffusion equation with the unimodal birth function which admits only non-monotone wavefronts. Moreover, these fronts are either eventually monotone (in particular, such is the minimal wave) or slowly oscillating. Hence, for the Mackey-Glass type diffusive equations, we answer affirmatively the question about the existence of non-monotone non-oscillating wavefronts. As it was recently established by Hasik {\it et al.} and Ducrot {\it et al.}, the same question has a negative answer for the KPP-Fisher equation with a single delay.
