Stability of neutral functional differential equations in terms of measures

In this paper we investigate the relationships between different concepts of stability in measure for the solutions of an autonomous or periodic neutral functional differential equation.

Stability of differential equations with piecewise constant argument via discrete equations

Lyapunov stability for a class of differential equation with piecewise constant argument (EPCA) is considered by means of the stability of a discrete equation. Applications to some nonlinear autonomous equations are given improving some linear known cases.

The relationship between differential equations with piecewise constant argument and the associated discrete equations, via dichotomic maps

Dichotomic maps are considered by means of the stability and asymptotic stability of the null solution of a class of differential equations with argument [t] via associated discrete equations, where [.] designates the greatest integer function.

On dichotomic maps for non autonomous discrete equations

A new procedure is given for the study of stability and asymptotic stability of the null solution of the non autonomous discrete equations by the method of dichotomic maps, which it includes Liapunov's Method asa special case. Examples are given to illustrate the application of the method.

On stability of differential equations with piecewise constant argument using dichotomic maps

This paper deals with the study of the basic theory of existence, uniqueness and continuation of solutions of di®erential equations with piecewise constant argument. Results about asymptotic stability of the equation x(t) =-bx(t) + f(x([t])) with argu- ment [t], where [t] designates the greatest integer function, are established by means of dichotomic maps. Other example is given to illustrate the application of the method. Copyright © 2011 Watam Press.

Periodicity in a delayed version of the kaldor trade cycle model

We are concerned with the Kaldor's trade cycle model under the effect of a delay which represents a gestation lag between a decision of investment and its effect on the capital stock. Taking the adjustment coefficient in the goods market as a bifurcation parameter, we achieve global branches of periodic solutions. In our setting the delay is a constant inherent to the specific economy. Copyright © 2013 Watam Press.

Asymptotic Hyperstability of a Class of Linear Systems under Impulsive Controls Subject to an Integral Popovian Constraint

This paper is focused on the study of the important property of the asymptotic hyperstability of a class of continuous-time dynamic systems. The presence of a parallel connection of a strictly stable subsystem to an asymptotically hyperstable one in the feed-forward loop is allowed while it has also admitted the generation of a finite or infinite number of impulsive control actions which can be combined with a general form of nonimpulsive controls. The asymptotic hyperstability property is guaranteed under a set of sufficiency-type conditions for the impulsive controls.

LaSalle`s theorems in impulsive semidynamical systems

We consider a semidynamical system subject to variable impulses and we obtain the LaSalle invariance principle and the asymptotic stability theorem for this semidynamical system. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Limit sets and the Poincare-Bendixson Theorem in impulsive semidynamical systems

We consider semidynamical systems with impulse effects at variable times and we discuss some properties of the limit sets of orbits of these systems such as invariancy, compactness and connectedness. As a consequence we obtain a version of the Poincare-Bendixson Theorem for impulsive semidynamical systems. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
