In this paper, we consider the boundary value problem for the Sturm-Liouville type equation with the fixed delay π/2 and a non zero initial function under transmission conditions at the delay point. We study the case when all parameters within the transmission conditions are known and the potential function is known on the interval (0, π/2). We will prove the uniqueness theorem from two spectra, first with Neumann boundary conditions and second with Cauchy boundary condition. Additionally, we will present an algorithm for the construction of the potential function over the interval (π/2, π). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The differential equations with state-dependent delay are very important equations because they can describe some problems in the real world more accurately. Due to the complexity of state-dependent delay, it also brings challenges to the research. The value of delay varying with the state is the difference between state-dependent delay and time-dependent delay. It is impossible to know exactly in advance how far historical state information is needed, and then the problem of state-dependent delay is more complicated compared with time-dependent delay. The dominating work of this paper is to solve the stability problem of neural networks equipped with state-dependent state delay. We use the purely analytical method to deduce the sufficient conditions for local exponential stability of the zero solution. Finally, a few numerical examples are presented to prove the availability of our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is devoted to investigating a class of stochastic neutral-type neural networks with delays. By using the fixed point theorem and the properties of neutral-type operator, we obtain the existence conditions for periodic solutions of stochastic neutral-type neural networks. Furthermore, we obtain the conditions for the exponential stability of periodic solutions using Gronwall-Bellman inequality and stochastic analysis technique. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the effectiveness and merits of the present results. Our results can be used to obtain the existence and exponential stability of periodic solution to the corresponding deterministic systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, Artificial Neural Networks are used to solve Delay Differential Equations. We have suggested an appropriate approximation function based on ANN and then by solving an optimization problem of error function, the neural network is trained. The advantage of this technique is that the proposed approximation functions, with a slight modification, can be used for most types of delay differential equations, including DDE with constant delay, time dependent delay and pantograph delay. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, various examples have been tested and validity and efficiency of the method have been shown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the problem of asymptotic stability of a kind of nonlinear perturbed neutral differential system with variable delay is discussed. The Lyapunov-Krasovskiˇı functional constructed, is used to obtain conditions for asymptotic stability of the nonlinear perturbed neutral differential system in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI). The two new results (delay-independent and delay-dependent criteria) include and extend the existing results in the literature. Finally, an example of delay-dependent criteria is supplied and the simulation result is shown to justify the effectiveness and reliability of the used techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new class of nonlocal boundary value problems consisting of multi-term delay fractional differential equations and multipoint-integral boundary conditions is studied in this paper. We derive a more general form of the solution for the given problem by applying a fractional integral operator of an arbitrary order βξ instead of β1; for details, see Lemma 2.2. The given problem is converted into an equivalent fixed-point problem to apply the tools of fixed-point theory. The existence of solutions for the given problem is established through the use of a nonlinear alternative of the Leray-Schauder theorem, while the uniqueness of its solutions is shown with the aid of Banach's fixed-point theorem. We also discuss the stability criteria, icluding Ulam-Hyers, generalized Ulam-Hyers, Ulam-Hyers-Rassias, and generalized Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability, for solutions of the problem at hand. For illustration of the abstract results, we present examples. Our results are new and useful for the discipline of multi-term fractional differential equations related to hydrodynamics. The paper concludes with some interesting observations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, to investigate the dynamic interplay between supply and demand, with a focus on collectability, a novel mathematical model was introduced via conformable operator. This model considers the possibility that operating expenses or a lack of raw materials causes a manufacturing delay than the supply of goods instantly matching demand. This maturation (delay) is represented by the delay factor (τ) . Stability analysis revolves around the equilibrium point other than zero. Chaotic behavior emerges through Hopf bifurcation at the critical delay parameter value. If this delay parameter is even slightly perturbed, oscillatory limit cycles can be induced in the market dynamics, leading to equilibrium with brisk market expansion, frequent recessions, and sudden collapses. We conducted sensitivity and directional analysis on a number of factors while also examining the stability and duration of the Hopf bifurcation. Numerical findings were validated using MATLAB. Additionally, the Caputo operator was used to examine the fractional of demand and supply dynamics. Importantly, we assumed a pivotal role in advancing fair labor practices and fostering economic growth on a national scale.

This paper delves into the asymptotic and oscillatory behavior of all classes of solutions of fourth-order nonlinear neutral delay differential equations in the noncanonical form with damping terms. This research aims to improve the relationships between the solutions of these equations and their corresponding functions and derivatives. By refining these relationships, we unveil new insights into the asymptotic properties governing these solutions. These insights lead to the establishment of improved conditions that ensure the nonexistence of any positive solutions to the studied equation, thus obtaining improved oscillation criteria. In light of the broader context, our findings extend and build upon the existing literature in the field of neutral differential equations. To emphasize the importance of the results and their applicability, this paper concludes with some examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the context of global food security and the pursuit of sustainable agricultural development, fostering synergistic innovation in the seed industry is of strategic importance. However, the collaborative innovation process between seed companies, research institutions, and governments is fraught with challenges due to information asymmetry and bounded rationality within the research and development phase. This paper establishes a multi-agent evolutionary game framework, taking the breeding of salt-tolerant rice as a case study. This study, grounded in the theories of information asymmetry and bounded rationality, constructs a two-party evolutionary game model for the interaction between enterprises and research institutions under market mechanisms. It further extends this model to include government participation, forming a three-party evolutionary game model. The aim is to uncover the evolutionary trends in collaborative behavior under various policy interventions and to understand how governments can foster collaborative innovation in salt-tolerant rice breeding through policy measures. To integrate the impact of historical decisions on the evolution of collaborative innovation, this research employs a delay differential equation (DDE) algorithm that takes historical lags into account within the numerical simulation. The stability analysis and numerical simulation using the DDE algorithm reveal the risk of market failure within the collaborative innovation system for salt-tolerant rice breeding operating under market mechanisms. Government involvement can mitigate this risk by adjusting incentive and restraint mechanisms to promote the system's stability and efficiency. Simulation results further identify that the initial willingness to participate, the coefficient for the distribution of benefits, the coefficient for cost sharing, and the government's punitive and incentivizing intensities are crucial factors affecting the stability of collaborative innovation. Based on these findings, the study suggests a series of policy recommendations including enhancing the initial motivation for participation in collaborative innovation, refining mechanisms for benefit distribution and cost sharing, strengthening regulatory compliance systems, constructing incentive frameworks, and encouraging information sharing and technology exchange. These strategies aim to establish a healthy and effective ecosystem for collaborative innovation in salt-tolerant rice breeding. While this research uses salt-tolerant rice breeding as a case study, the proposed cooperative mechanisms and policy suggestions have universal applicability in various agricultural science and technology innovation scenarios, especially when research meets widespread social needs but lacks commercial profit drivers, underscoring the essential role of government incentives and support. Consequently, this research not only contributes a new perspective to the application of evolutionary game theory in agricultural science and technology innovation but also offers empirical backing for policymakers in advancing similar collaborative innovation endeavors.

In 1973 Nussbaum proved that certain bounded solutions of autonomous delay-differential equations with analytic nonlinearities are themselves analytic. On the other hand, the two authors of this paper more recently showed that bounded solutions of certain delay-differential equations, again with analytic nonlinearities, can be C ∞ smooth, yet not be analytic for certain ranges of the independent variable t. In this paper we extend the 1973 results to obtain analytic solutions of a broader class of delay-differential equations, including a wide variety of nonautonomous equations. Nevertheless, there are still equations with analytic nonlinearities possessing global bounded C ∞ solutions for which analyticity is unknown. This is the case, for example, for the equation y ′ (t) = g (y (t - 1)) + ε sin (t 2) where g is analytic and where y = 0 is a hyperbolic equilibrium when ε = 0 . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Chatter stability analysis is an effective way to optimize the cutting parameters and achieve chatter-free machining. This paper proposes a milling chatter stability analysis method based on the localized differential quadrature method (LDQM), which has the advantages of simple principle, easy application, and high computational efficiency. The milling process, considering the regeneration effect, is modeled using linear periodic delay differential equations (DDE), then the state transition matrix during the adjacent cutting period is constructed based on the LDQM, and finally, the stability of the milling process is obtained based on the Floquet theory. The accuracy and computation efficiency of the proposed method are verified through two benchmark milling models. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method in this paper can accurately and quickly obtain the chatter stability lobe diagram (SLD) of the milling process, which will provide guidance for optimizing the process parameters.

The authors of this paper examine uniformly asymptotically stability (UAS). uniformly boundedness (UB). ultimately uniformly boundedness (UUB) and existence of periodic solutions (EPSs) of certain nonlinear delay differential equations (DDEs) of third order with multiple constant delays. They prove two results and give a corollary on these properties of solutions. The main results of this paper have sufficient conditions and the technique of the proofs for these results is based on construction of a proper Lyapunov- KrasovskiT function (LKF). This paper has novel results to the theory of DDEs of third order and fills some gaps related to the mentioned concepts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Herein, we present an algorithm for handling fractional delay differential equations (FDDEs). Chebyshev polynomials (CPs) class of the seventh kind is a subclass of the generalized Gegenbauer (ultraspherical) polynomials. The members of this class make up the basis functions in this paper. Our suggested numerical algorithm is derived using new theoretical findings about these polynomials and their shifted counterparts. We will use the Tau method to convert the FDDE with the governing conditions into a linear algebraic system, which can then be solved numerically using a suitable procedure. We will give a detailed discussion of the convergence and error analysis of the shifted Chebyshev expansion. Lastly, some numerical examples are provided to verify the precision and applicability of the proposed strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a delay differential equation model is investigated, which describes the biodegradation of microcystins (MCs) by Sphingomonas sp. and its degrading enzymes. First, the local stability of the positive equilibrium and the existence of the Hopf bifurcation are obtained. Second, the global attractivity of the positive equilibrium is obtained by constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals, which implies that the biodegradation of microcystins is sustainable under appropriate conditions. In addition, some numerical simulations of the model are carried out to illustrate the theoretical results. Finally, the parameters of the model are determined from the experimental data and fitted to the data. The results show that the trajectories of the model fit well with the trend of the experimental data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Autoregressive Markov switching (ARMS) time series models are used to represent real-world signals whose dynamics may change over time. They have found application in many areas of the natural and social sciences, as well as in engineering. In general, inference in this kind of systems involves two problems: (a) detecting the number of distinct dynamical models that the signal may adopt and (b) estimating any unknown parameters in these models. In this paper, we introduce a new class of nonlinear ARMS time series models with delays that includes, among others, many systems resulting from the discretisation of stochastic delay differential equations (DDEs). Remarkably, this class includes cases in which the discretisation time grid is not necessarily aligned with the delays of the DDE, resulting in discrete-time ARMS models with real (non-integer) delays. The incorporation of real, possibly long, delays is a key departure compared to typical ARMS models in the literature. We describe methods for the maximum likelihood detection of the number of dynamical modes and the estimation of unknown parameters (including the possibly non-integer delays) and illustrate their application with a nonlinear ARMS model of El Niño–southern oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon.

This paper focuses on using piecewise derivatives to simulate the dynamic behavior and investigate the crossover effect within the coupled fractional system with delays by dividing the study interval into two subintervals. We establish and prove significant lemmas concerning piecewise derivatives. Furthermore, we extend and develop the necessary conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions, while also investigating the Hyers–Ulam stability results of the proposed system. The results are derived using the Banach contraction principle and the Leary–Schauder alternative fixed-point theorem. Additionally, we employ a numerical method based on Newton’s interpolation polynomials to compute approximate solutions for the considered system. Finally, we provide an illustrative example demonstrating our theoretical conclusions’ practical application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we have analysed the influence of viscoelastic and frictional damping on the decay rate of solutions for a Kirchhoff-type viscoelastic wave equation with a distributed delay acting on nonlinear internal damping. Taking the relaxation function of a fairly large class and using the method of energy in which we introduce an adapted Lyapunov functional and by exploiting certain properties of convex functions, under certain assumptions on the constants of system, we obtain the optimal decay rate of energy in the sense that it is compatible with the decay rate of the relaxation function.

This research paper focuses on investigating the solvability of a constrained problem involving a nonlinear delay functional equation subject to a quadratic functional integral constraint, in two significant cases: firstly, the existence of nondecreasing solutions in a bounded interval L 1 [ 0 , T ] and, secondly, the existence of nonincreasing solutions in unbounded interval L 1 (R +) . Moreover, the paper explores various qualitative properties associated with these solutions for the given problem. To establish the validity of our claims, we employ the De Blasi measure of noncompactness (MNC) technique as a basic tool for our proofs. In the first case, we provide sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of the solution ψ ∈ L 1 [ 0 , T ] and rigorously demonstrate its continuous dependence on some parameters. Additionally, we establish the equivalence between the constrained problem and an implicit hybrid functional integral equation (IHFIE). Furthermore, we delve into the study of Hyers–Ulam stability. In the second case, we examine both the asymptotic stability and continuous dependence of the solution ψ ∈ L 1 (R +) on some parameters. Finally, some examples are provided to verify our investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper addresses the problem of stochastic stabilization for the neutral stochastic delay systems (NSDSs) based on discrete observations. Specifically, we design sampled-data based controllers (SDBCs) to stabilize NSDSs. To conquer the difficulties caused by the neutral term and stochastic stabilization, we introduce a new nominal system. By using the Lyapunov function method, we discuss the stability of the nominal system and provide a stability criterion. For the part of SDBC design, there are two methods: the lifting technique method (LTM) and the input delay method (IDM). The LTM is more effective for linear delay-free systems, but there is little research on the LTM for nonlinear stochastic delay systems. In this research, we combine the LTM with the equivalence technique for NSDSs, resulting in improved results. Additionally, to overcome the difficulty caused by LTM, we propose a series of mathematical tools, such as Gronwall's inequality of the discrete version. We compared our method with the IDM presented in X. Mao, IEEE Trans. Automat. Control, 61 (2016), pp. 1619--1624., and our method performs better. Finally, to showcase the efficiency and correctness of our proposed approach, we provide an application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper delves into the analysis of oscillation characteristics within third-order quasilinear delay equations, focusing on the canonical case. Novel sufficient conditions are introduced, aimed at discerning the nature of solutions—whether they exhibit oscillatory behavior or converge to zero. By expanding the literature, this study enriches the existing knowledge landscape within this field. One of the foundations on which we rely in proving the results is the symmetry between the positive and negative solutions, so that we can, using this feature, obtain criteria that guarantee the oscillation of all solutions. The paper enhances comprehension through the provision of illustrative examples that effectively showcase the outcomes and implications of the established findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The first part of the paper discusses designing of the lowpass filter that gives both a constant group delay over the passband and a sharp cut-off slope, which is one of the most difficult challenges in continuous-time signal processing. Furthermore, equalisation of the group delay distortion of the Chebyshev filter has been performed through a cascade connection of the allpass filters. The Newton–Raphson method is applied for solving the system of nonlinear equations that calculate the allpass filter parameters for equalising the constant group delay in an equiripple sense. This procedure gives nearly symmetric impulse response of the resulting filtering system, as well as a longer duration. In the second part of the paper, two solutions for synthesising polynomial filter transfer functions are discussed: filter with monotonic amplitude characteristic (LSM) and filter using Chebyshev polynomial. For the purpose of comparison, the passband ripple factor of the Chebyshev filter is necessary to be adjusted so that both filters have the same stopband insertion loss, group delay and transient response. It is shown that Chebyshev filter is preferable since the passband magnitude distortions and sensitivity to the element deviation tolerance are significantly superior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we propose and analyze a spectral collocation method for the numerical solutions of fractional multipantograph delay differential equations. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. We present that some suitable variable transformations can convert the equations to a Volterra integral equation defined on the standard interval [−1, 1]. Then the Jacobi–Gauss points are used as collocation nodes, and the Jacobi–Gauss quadrature formula is used to approximate the integral equation. Later, the convergence analysis of the proposed method is investigated in the infinity norm and weighted L2 norm. To perform the numerical simulations, some test examples are investigated, and numerical results are presented. Further, we provide the comparative study of the proposed method with some existing numerical methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper delves into the enhancement of asymptotic and oscillatory behaviors in solutions to even-order neutral differential equations with multiple delays. The main objective is to establish improved inequalities to advance the understanding of oscillation theory for these equations. The paper's approach is centered on improving the understanding of the intricate relationship between solutions and their corresponding functions. This is achieved by harnessing the modified monotonic properties of positive solutions, which provide valuable insights into oscillation behavior. Furthermore, leveraging the symmetry between positive and negative solutions, we derived criteria that ensure oscillation for all solutions, with a specific emphasis on excluding only positive solutions. To illustrate the significance of our findings, we provide an illustrative example. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider a nonlinear perturbed system of neutral delay integro-differential equations (NDIDEs). We prove two new theorems, Theorems 1 and 2, such that these theorems include sufficient conditions and are related to asymptotical stability of zero solution of the perturbed system of NDIDEs. The technique of the proofs depends upon the definitions of two new and more suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskiĭ functionals (LKFs). When we compared the results of this paper with those found in the literature, our results improve and extend some classical results, and contribute new contents to the topic of NDIDEs and to the profession.

In this paper, we analyze the strong feedback limit of two negative feedback schemes which have proven to be efficient for many biological processes (protein synthesis, immune responses, breathing disorders). In this limit, the nonlinear delayed feedback function can be reduced to a function with a threshold nonlinearity. This will considerably help analytical and numerical studies of networks exhibiting different topologies. Mathematically, we compare the bifurcation diagrams for both the delayed and non-delayed feedback functions and show that Hopf classical theory needs to be revisited in the strong feedback limit.

The presented results significantly extend and complement existing findings in the field. The paper concludes with illustrative examples that highlight the practical implications of our analytical discoveries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Caputo-Hadamard-type fractional calculus involves the logarithmic function of an arbitrary exponent as its convolutional kernel, which causes challenges in numerical approximations. In this paper, we construct and analyze a spectral collocation approach using mapped Jacobi functions as basis functions and construct an efficient algorithm to solve systems of fractional pantograph delay differential equations involving Caputo-Hadamard fractional derivatives. What we study is the error estimates of the derived method. In addition, we tabulate numerical results to support our theoretical analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Furthermore, several examples are provided to illustrate our conclusions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a class of two-delay differential equations with coefficient-dependent delay is studied. The distribution of the roots of the eigenequation is discussed, and conditions for the stability of the internal equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are obtained. Additionally, using the normal form method and the central manifold theory, the bifurcation direction and the stability for the periodic solution of Hopf bifurcation are calculated. Finally, the correctness of the theory is verified by numerical simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Several real-life problems that involve a time delay are modeled using fractional time-delay systems. However, most studies related to these systems assume that the delay is already known, which is not the case in practical scenarios where the delay is often uncertain or unknown. To address this issue, this paper proposes an algebraic and robust method to estimate the input delay for a class of fractional time-delay systems in a noisy environment, by applying a cross-convolution approach. Besides, a filtering methodology is incorporated with the proposed approach to enhance its efficacy. In addition, this paper presents novel theories on convolution in the field of fractional calculus. Finally, the performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated by numerical simulations.

Purpose: This study aims to treat a novel system of Volterra integro-differential equations with multiple delays and variable bounds, constituting a generic numerical method based on the matrix equation and a combinatoric-parametric Charlier polynomials. The proposed method utilizes these polynomials for the matrix relations at the collocation points. Design/methodology/approach: Thanks to the combinatorial eligibility of the method, the functional terms can be transformed into the generic matrix relations with low dimensions, and their resulting matrix equation. The obtained solutions are tested with regard to the parametric behaviour of the polynomials with $\alpha$, taking into account the condition number of an outcome matrix of the method. Residual error estimation improves those solutions without using any external method. A calculation of the residual error bound is also fulfilled. Findings: All computations are carried out by a special programming module. The accuracy and productivity of the method are scrutinized via numerical and graphical results. Based on the discussions, one can point out that the method is very proper to solve a system in question. Originality/value: This paper introduces a generic computational numerical method containing the matrix expansions of the combinatoric Charlier polynomials, in order to treat the system of Volterra integro-differential equations with multiple delays and variable bounds. Thus, the method enables to evaluate stiff differential and integral parts of the system in question. That is, these parts generates two novel components in terms of unknown terms with both differentiated and delay arguments. A rigorous error analysis is deployed via the residual function. Four benchmark problems are solved and interpreted. Their graphical and numerical results validate accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method. In fact, a generic method is, thereby, provided into the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work develops the Milstein scheme for commutative stochastic differential equations with piecewise continuous arguments (SDEPCAs), which can be viewed as stochastic differential equations with time-dependent and piecewise continuous delay. As far as we know, although there have been several papers investigating the convergence and stability for different numerical methods on SDEPCAs, all of these methods are Euler-type methods and the convergence orders do not exceed 1/2. Accordingly, we first construct the Milstein scheme for SDEPCAs in this work and then show its convergence order can reach 1. Moreover, we prove that the Milstein method can preserve the stability of SDEPCAs. In the last section, we provide several numerical examples to verify the theoretical results.

In this paper, we mainly explore the averaging principle of Caputo-type fractional delay stochastic differential equations with Brownian motion. Firstly, the solutions of this considered system are derived with the aid of the Picard iteration technique along with the Laplace transformation and its inverse. Secondly, we obtain the unique result by using the contradiction method. In addition, the averaging principle is discussed by means of the Burkholder-Davis-Gundy inequality, Jensen inequality, Hölder inequality and Grönwall-Bellman inequality under some hypotheses. Finally, an example with numerical simulations is carried out to prove the relevant theories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There are numerous phenomena in real world that their practical modeling in mathematics language deals with differential equations. Stochastic terms have significant roles in estimating behavior of these events such as machine tool vibrations, biology, traffic dynamics, neural networks and so on, it cannot be reasonable to consider an event without its past information, and it ends up with equations including time delays. The numerical solution of stochastic delay differential equations has always been of interest to researchers. In this paper, by using scaling function of the Daubechies wavelet, a collocation method is presented to solve a class of stochastic delay differential equations and it is tried to demonstrate the advantages of using this type of wavelet. Convergence of the method is provided and numerical experiments are reported to show application of the method in practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the authors studied sufficient conditions to understand the oscillatory behavior of solutions of nonlinear neutral delay (and advanced) differential equation (E) with deviating arguments. Employing Banach fixed point theorem, the authors established the existence of bounded positive solutions of (E). The authors solved various examples using MATLAB software to understand the applications of the main theorems. Moreover, the authors analyzed the effect of delay terms on the behavior of solutions of (E). This paper has improved the results obtained in Basu [2] and Chatzarakis [11]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present paper, we investigate the effect of the initial conditions on the dynamics of the spring-block landslide model. The time evolution of the studied model, which is governed by a system of stochastic delay differential equations, is analyzed in the mean-field approximation, which qualitatively exhibits the same dynamics as the initial model. The results of the numerical analysis show that changing the initial conditions has different effects in different parts of the parameter space of the model. Namely, moving away from the fixed-point initial conditions has a stabilizing effect on the dynamics when the noise, the friction parameters a (higher values) and c as well as the spring stiffness k are taken into account. The stabilization manifests itself in a complete suppression of the unstable dynamics or a partial limitation of the effect of some friction parameters. On the other hand, the destabilizing effect of changing the initial conditions occurs for the lower values of the friction parameters a and for b. The main feature of destabilization is the complete suppression of the sliding regime or a larger parameter range with a transient oscillatory regime. Our approach underlines the importance of analyzing the influence of initial conditions on landslide dynamics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present paper, we study stochastic stability and stochastic boundedness for the stochastic differential equation (SDE) with multi-delay of third order.

Two examples are given to illustrate the results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions to a class of second-order nonlinear differential equations with distributed delay. Under assumptions that the nonlinearity is odd, differentiable at zero and satisfies the Nagumo condition, by applying the equivariant degree method, we prove that the delay equation admits multiple periodic solutions. The results are then illustrated by an example. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The pantograph equation is a basic model in the field of delay differential equations. This paper deals with an extended version of the pantograph delay equation by incorporating a variable coefficient of exponential order. At specific values of the involved parameters, the exact solution is obtained by applying the regular Maclaurin series expansion (MSE). A second approach is also applied on the current model based on a hybrid method combining the Laplace transform (LT) and the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) denoted as (LTADM). Although the MSE derives the exact solution in a straightforward manner, the LTADM determines the solution in a closed series form which is theoretically proved for convergence. Further, the accuracy of such a closed-form solution is examined through various comparisons with the exact solution. For validation, the residual errors are calculated and displayed in graphs. The results show that the solution obtained utilizing the LTADM is in full agreement with the exact solution using only a few terms of the closed-form series solution. Moreover, it is found that the residual errors tend to zero, which reflects the effectiveness of the LTADM. The present approach may merit further extension by including other types of linear delay differential equations with variable coefficients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
