Oscillation Nonoscillation Stability and Asymptotic Properties for Second and Higher Order Functional Differential Equations

Asymptotic properties of solutions such as stability/ instabilityoscillation/ nonoscillation existence of solutions with specific asymptotics maximum principles present a classical part in the theory of higher order functional differential equations. The use of these equations in applications is one of the main reasons for the developments in this field. The control in the mechanical processes leads to mathematical models with second order delay differential equations. Stability and stabilization of second order delay equations are one of the main goals of this book. The book is based on the authorsâ results in the last decade. Features: Stability oscillatory and asymptotic properties of solutions are studied in correlation with each other. The first systematic description of stability methods based on the Bohl-Perron theorem. Simple and explicit exponential stability tests. In this book various types of functional differential equations are considered: second and higher orders delay differential equations with measurable coefficients and delays integro-differential equations neutral equations and operator equations. Oscillation/nonoscillation existence of unbounded solutions instability special asymptotic behavior positivity exponential stability and stabilization of functional differential equations are studied. New methods for the study of exponential stability are proposed. Noted among them inlcude the W-transform (right regularization) a priory estimation of solutions maximum principles differential and integral inequalities matrix inequality method and reduction to a system of equations. The book can be used by applied mathematicians and as a basis for a course on stability of functional differential equations for graduate students. . Language: English
