Measure functional differential equations and functional dynamic equations on time scales

We study measure functional differential equations and clarify their relation to generalized ordinary differential equations. We show that functional dynamic equations on time scales represent a special case of measure functional differential equations. For both types of equations, we obtain results on the existence and uniqueness of solutions, continuous dependence, and periodic averaging.

Boundedness of solutions of retarded functional differential equations with variable impulses via generalized ordinary differential equations

In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for the uniform boundedness and uniform ultimate boundedness of solutions of a class of retarded functional differential equations with impulse effects acting on variable times. We employ the theory of generalized ordinary differential equations to obtain our results. As an example, we investigate the boundedness of the solution of a circulating fuel nuclear reactor model.

Periodic solutions of abstract neutral functional differential equations

We characterize the existence of periodic solutions of some abstract neutral functional differential equations with finite and infinite delay when the underlying space is a UMD space. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Semilinear functional difference equations with infinite delay

We obtain boundedness and asymptotic behavior of solutions for semilinear functional difference equations with infinite delay. Applications to Volterra difference equations with infinite delay are shown. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Periodic averaging theorems for various types of equations

We prove a periodic averaging theorem for generalized ordinary differential equations and show that averaging theorems for ordinary differential equations with impulses and for dynamic equations on time scales follow easily from this general theorem. We also present a periodic averaging theorem for a large class of retarded equations.

Existence of Solutions for Abstract Non-Autonomous Neutral Differential Equations

In this paper we discuss the existence of mild and classical solutions for a class of abstract non-autonomous neutral functional differential equations. An application to partial neutral differential equations is considered.
