This paper explores general coupled dynamic equations on time scales with multiple delays and investigates the existence of periodic solutions using the coincidence degree theory approach. The model studied includes the mathematical models of Nicholson, Mackey–Glass, and Lasota–Wazewska as special cases. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the solutions are not only asymptotically stable but also exponentially synchronized. 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]

In this study, we principally investigate a fractional‐order stage‐structured predator–prey system including distributed time delays and discrete time delays. Taking advantage of transformation of the variable, we obtain an isovalent version of the considered fractional‐order stage‐structured predator–prey system including distributed time delays and discrete time delays. The isovalent version includes fractional‐order and integer‐order equations. Utilizing the stability criterion and bifurcation theory of fractional‐order differential equation, a novel delay‐independent bifurcation condition to ensure the appearance of Hopf bifurcation for the fractional‐order stage‐structured predator–prey system is set up. The impact of time delay on the stability and bifurcation is clearly revealed. Numerical simulation figures are presented to sustain the rationality of the derived key conclusions.

We study asymptotic behavior of solutions of the first‐order linear consensus model with delay and anticipation, which is a system of neutral delay differential equations. We consider both the transmission‐type and reaction‐type delay that are motivated by modeling inputs. Studying the simplified case of two agents, we show that, depending on the parameter regime, anticipation may have both a stabilizing and destabilizing effect on the solutions. In particular, we demonstrate numerically that moderate level of anticipation generically promotes convergence towards consensus, while too high level disturbs it. Motivated by this observation, we derive sufficient conditions for asymptotic consensus in multiple‐agent systems, which are explicit in the parameter values delay length and anticipation level. The proofs are based on construction of suitable Lyapunov‐type functionals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We study a free boundary problem modeling multilayer tumor growth with a small time delay τ, representing the time needed for the cell to complete the replication process. The model consists of two elliptic equations which describe the concentration of nutrient and the tumor tissue pressure, respectively, an ordinary differential equation describing the cell location characterizing the time delay and a partial differential equation for the free boundary. In this paper, we establish the well‐posedness of the problem; namely, first, we prove that there exists a unique flat stationary solution (σ∗,p∗,ρ∗,ξ∗) for all μ>0. The stability of this stationary solution should depend on the tumor aggressiveness constant μ. It is also unrealistic to expect the perturbation to be flat. We show that, under non‐flat perturbations, there exists a threshold μ∗>0 such that (σ∗,p∗,ρ∗,ξ∗) is linearly stable if μ<μ∗ and linearly unstable if μ>μ∗. Furthermore, the time delay increases the stationary tumor size. These are interesting results with mathematical and biological implications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We are motivated by the idea that certain properties of delay differential and difference equations with constant coefficients arise as a consequence of their one‐periodic nature. We apply the recently introduced definition of periodicity for arbitrary isolated time scales to linear delay dynamic equations and a class of nonlinear delay dynamic equations. Utilizing a derived identity of higher order delta derivatives and delay terms, we rewrite the considered linear and nonlinear delayed dynamic equations with one‐periodic coefficients as a linear autonomous dynamic system with constant matrix. As the simplification of a constant matrix is only obtained for one‐periodic coefficients, dynamic equations with one‐periodic coefficients are the simplest form compared to the commonly used constant coefficients.

In this study, some new results are obtained on asymptotic behavior and stability analysis of the mixed type differential equation x′t=∫−10xt−r1θdvθ+∫−10xt+r2θdηθ,where xt∈ℝ, r1θ and r2θ are real nonnegative continuous functions on −1,0, and vθ and ηθ are real valued functions of bounded variation on −1,0. These results were obtained by using an appropriate real root of the characteristic equation. Moreover, by the use of two appropriate distinct real roots of the corresponding characteristic equation, a new result on the behavior of solutions is established. Five examples are also given to illustrate our results. We also presented the application of the obtained results in the special case of constant coefficients and have given three different cases in one example. The results obtained in this article show that real roots play an important role. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this research work is to establish existence results as well as to study qualitative aspects of the proposed coupled system of fractional hybrid delay differential equations (FHDDEs). Using the hybrid fixed point theory, we establish appropriate results for the existence of at least one solution to our problem. The powerful tools of functional analysis and dynamical systems are applied to derive different kinds of stability analysis. These include Ulam‐Hyers (UH), generalized Ulam‐Hyers (GUH), Ulam‐Hyers‐Rassias (UHR), and generalized Ulam‐Hyers‐Rassias (GUHR). In order to provide the authenticity of the our results, an illustrative example is given to wind up the present research work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions and derive the Ulam‐Hyers‐Mittag‐Leffler stability results for impulsive implicit Ψ‐Hilfer fractional differential equations with time delay. It is demonstrated that the Ulam‐Hyers and generalized Ulam‐Hyers stability are the specific cases of Ulam‐Hyers‐Mittag‐Leffler stability. Extended version of the Gronwall inequality, abstract Gronwall lemma, and Picard operator theory are the primary devices in our investigation. We provide an example to illustrate the obtained results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The nonlinear delay differential equation with exponential and quadratic nonlinearities is considered. It is assumed that the equation is exposed to stochastic perturbations of the white noise type, which are directly proportional to the deviation of the system state from the equilibrium point. Sufficient conditions for stability in probability of the zero and positive equilibriums of the considered system under stochastic perturbations are obtained. The research results are illustrated by numerical simulations. The proposed investigation procedure can be applied for arbitrary nonlinear stochastic delay differential equations with an order of nonlinearity higher than one.
