Abstract

Consider the delay differential equationx′(t) + p(t)x(t − τ) = 0, wherep(t) ∈ C([t0, ∞), R + ) and τ is a positive constant. We obtain a sharp sufficient condition for the oscillation of this equation, which improves previously known results.

This paper is concerned with Nicholson's blowflies equation, a kind of time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation. It is known that when the ratio of birth rate coefficient and death rate coefficient satisfies 1 < p/d <= e, the equation is monotone and possesses monotone traveling wavefronts, which have been intensively studied in previous research. However, when p/d > e, the equation losses its monotonicity, and its traveling waves are oscillatory when the time-delay r or the wave speed c is large, which causes the study of stability of these nonmonotone traveling waves to be challenging. In this paper, we use the technical weighted energy method to prove that when e < p/d <= e(2), all noncritical traveling waves phi(x + ct) with c > c(*) > 0 are exponentially stable, where c(*) > 0 is the minimum wave speed. Here, we allow the traveling wave to be either monotone or nonmonotone with any speed c > c(*) and any size of the time-delay r > 0; however, when p/d > e(2) with a small time-delay r < [pi-arctan root ln p/d(ln p/d -2)]/d root ln p/d(ln p/d -2), all noncritical traveling waves phi(x + ct) with c > c(*) > 0 are exponentially stable, too. As a corollary, we also prove the uniqueness of traveling waves in the case of p/d > e(2), which to the best of our knowledge was open. Finally, some numerical simulations are carried out. When e < p/d <= e(2), we demonstrate numerically that after a long time the solution behaves like a monotone traveling wave for a small time-delay, and behaves like an oscillatory traveling wave for a big time-delay. When p/d > e(2), if the time-delay is small, then the solution numerically behaves like a monotone/nonmonotone traveling wave, but if the time-delay is big, then the solution is numerically demonstrated to be chaotically oscillatory but not an oscillatory traveling wave. These either confirm and support our theoretical results or open up some new phenomena for future research.

This paper is concerned with the stability of critical traveling waves for a kind of non-monotone time-delayed reaction–diffusion equations including Nicholson's blowflies equation which models the population dynamics of a single species with maturation delay. Such delayed reaction–diffusion equations possess monotone or oscillatory traveling waves. The latter occurs when the birth rate function is non-monotone and the time-delay is big. It has been shown that such traveling waves exist for all and are exponentially stable for all wave speed [13], where is called the critical wave speed. In this paper, we prove that the critical traveling waves (monotone or oscillatory) are also time-asymptotically stable, when the initial perturbations are small in a certain weighted Sobolev norm. The adopted method is the technical weighted-energy method with some new flavors to handle the critical oscillatory waves. Finally, numerical simulations for various cases are carried out to support our theoretical results.

This paper is concerned with the global stability of non-critical/critical traveling waves with oscillations for time-delayed nonlocal dispersion equations. We first theoretically prove that all traveling waves, especially the critical oscillatory traveling waves, are globally stable in a certain weighted space, where the convergence rates to the non-critical oscillatory traveling waves are time-exponential, and the convergence to the critical oscillatory traveling waves are time-algebraic. Both of the rates are optimal. The approach adopted is the weighted energy method with the fundamental solution theory for time-delayed equations. Secondly, we carry out numerical computations in different cases, which also confirm our theoretical results. Because of oscillations of the solutions and nonlocality of the equation, the numerical results obtained by the regular finite difference scheme are not stable, even worse to be blow-up. In order to overcome these obstacles, we propose a new finite difference scheme by adding artificial viscosities to both sides of the equation, and obtain the desired numerical results.

Second, we prove that the solutions are permanent and establish some sufficient conditions for oscillation of the positive solutions about x(n). Finally, we give an estimation of the lower and upper bounds of the oscillatory solution and establish some sufficient conditions for global attractivity of x(n). From applications point of view permanence guarantees the long term survival of mature cells, oscillation implies the prevalence of the mature cells around the periodic solution and the convergence implies the absence of any dynamical diseases in the population. Our results in the special case when the coefficients are positive constants involve and improve the oscillation and global attractivity results on the literature.

This paper is concerned with time-delayed reaction–diffusion equations on half space with boundary effect. When the birth rate function is non-monotone, the solution of the delayed equation subjected to appropriate boundary condition is proved to converge time-exponentially to a certain (monotone or non-monotone) traveling wave profile with wave speed , where is the minimum wave speed, when the initial data is a small perturbation around the wave, while the wave is shifted far away from the boundary so that the boundary layer is sufficiently small. The adopted method is the technical weighted-energy method with some new flavors to handle the boundary terms. However, when the birth rate function is monotone under consideration, then, for all traveling waves with , no matter what size of the boundary layers is, these monotone traveling waves are always globally stable. The proof approach is the monotone technique and squeeze theorem but with some new development.

We obtain new sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all solutions of first-order delay dynamic equations on arbitrary time scales, hence combining and extending results for corresponding differential and difference equations. Examples, some of which coincide with well-known results on particular time scales, are provided to illustrate the applicability of our results.

Consider the first-order linear delay differential equation $$ x'(t)+p(t)x(au (t))=0,quad tgeq t_{0}, $$ and the second-order linear delay equation $$ x''(t)+p(t)x(au (t))=0,quad tgeq t_{0}, $$ where $p$ and $au $ are continuous functions on $[t_{0},infty )$, $p(t)>0$, $au (t)$ is non-decreasing, $au (t)leq t$ for $tgeq t_{0}$ and $lim_{to infty }au (t)=infty $. Several oscillation criteria are presented for the first-order equation when $$ 0<liminf_{to infty }int_{au (t)}^{t}p(s)dsleq frac{1}{e} quad hbox{and}quad limsup_{to infty }int_{au (t)}^{t}p(s)ds<1, $$ and for the second-order equation when $$ liminf_{to infty }int_{au (t)}^{t}au (s)p(s)ds leq frac{1}{e}quad hbox{and}quad limsup_{to infty }int_{au (t)}^{t}au (s)p(s)ds<1,. $$

Consider the neutral delay differential equation (∗) are positive constants, while pϵ (−∞, −1) ∪ (0, + ∞). (For the case pϵ [−1, 0] see Ladas and Sficas, Oscillations of neutral delay differential equations (to appear)). The following results are then proved. Theorem 1. Assume p < − 1. Then every nonoscillatory solution y(t) of Eq. (∗) tends to ± ∞ as t → ∞. Theorem 2. Assume p < − 1, τ > σ, and . Then every solution of Eq. (∗) oscillates. Theorems 3. Assume p > 0. Then every nonoscillatory solution y(t) of Eq. (∗) tends to zero as t → ∞. Theorem 4. Assume p > 0. Then a necessary condition for all solutions of Eq. (∗) to oscillate is that σ > τ. Theorem 5. Assume . Then every solution of Eq. (∗) oscillates. Extensions of these results to equations with variable coefficients are also obtained.

AMS (MOS) subject classification (1970): Primary 34K15; Secondary 34K25, 34E10. A sufficient condition under which all solutions of the delay differential equation , where p(t≤0 and continuous and τ>0 and constant, are oscillatory is presented. It is explained that the condition is the best possible for oscillations. When the coefficient p(t) in equation (1) is a positive constant, p, then the condition becomes pτe>0 which is necessary and sufficient for all solutions of the DDE to be oscillatory.
