Solving delay differential equations via Sumudu transform

Methods used for ordinary differential equations cannot generally be used to solve delay differential equation, which is reflected in the choice of suitable software. The paper shows possibilities of software solution of delay differential equations. The aim of the paper is to present the possibilities of current software packages and programme systems (e.g. Matlab, Maple, R). The paper further shows how the aforementioned equations can be used in solutions of dynamical models. The conclusion of the papers demonstrates a solution of a specific dynamical model -- the Phillips curve applied to the Czech Republic. Setting up the model required the use of analytic and synthetic methods, dynamical modelling and solving the system of two delay differential equations. In the conclusion the authors claim that although the quality of the available software, suitable for solving delay differential equations, is not as good as that of software used for solving ordinary differential equations, such software that meets basic requirements can be found. Therefore such software can be used as a supportive tool for exact modelling methods in practice.

<p>In this paper, we implement the Elzaki transform method for the solution of delay differential equations (DDEs). The method executes the DDEs by implementing its properties on the given DDE. Also, the method treats the nonlinear terms with a well posed formula. The method is easy to implement with high level of accuracy. Also, restricted transformations, perturbation, linearization or discretization are not recognized. The resulting numerical evidences show that the method converges favourably to the analytic solution. All computational frameworks are performed with maple 18 software.</p>

Periodic solutions of delay differential equations (DDEs) splitting into stable and unstable branches are examined in an infinite-dimensional space for fixed and multiple time delays. The center manifold theorem and the classical Hopf bifurcation theorem for the study of periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are employed to reduce the infinite-dimensional character of the DDEs to finite-dimensional ODEs. Using integral averaging method, the vector field of the ODEs is converted and averaged into amplitude a and phase φ relations. From these relations bifurcation equations of the form ℑ(a, φ) = 0 for the solution branches are derived.

In this paper, the relation between the oscillatory behavior of the solutions of second order differential equation and the oscillatory behaviour of the solutions of the corresponding delay differential equation is established. Also a necessary and sufficient condition for every bounded solution of the delay differential equations to have nonooscillatory solutions is given. A.M.S.C.: 34C10, 34C11, 34K15. Key words: Zeros, oscillatory and nonoscillatory solutions.

This work presents the application of the power series method (PSM) to find solutions of nonlinear delay differential equations of pantograph type (PDDEs). Three equations are solved to show that PSM can provide analytical solutions of PDDEs in convergent series form. The nonlinear pantograph cases study are: a first order equation, a second order equation, and a second order singular equation. Additionally, we present the post-treatment of the power series solutions with the Laplace-Pad ´ e (LP) resummation method as a powerful technique to find exact solutions. The proposed methodology possesses a simple procedure based on a few straightforward steps and it does not depend on a perturbation parameter.

Characterising small solutions in delay differential equations through numerical approximations

In 1999 Ivanov and Losson [A.F. Ivanov and J. Losson, Stable rapidly oscillating solutions in delay differential equations with negative feedback, Differ. Int. Eqns 12 (1999), pp. 811–832] presented a computer assisted proof that a particular delay differential equation (with negative feedback) admits a stable rapidly oscillating periodic solution (ROPS). In this article the delay equation of Ivanov and Losson is embedded in a five-parametric class of differential equations. Conditions on the parameters are given such that the delay equation admits a stable ROPS. Moreover, it is shown that for odd n > 1 the delay equation admits a stable ROPS with n humps per unit time if the parameters satisfy some explicitly given conditions. The delay equation of Ivanov and Losson satisfies all conditions on the five parameters. This gives an analytic proof and a considerable generalization of the result of Ivanov and Losson. The conditions on the parameters are believed to be sharp in a certain sense. The second result proves part of a conjecture in Stoffer [D. Stoffer, Delay equations with rapidly oscillating stable periodic solutions, J. Dyn. Differ. Eqns 20(1) (2008), pp. 201–238]. For a class of stiff delay differential equations with piecewise constant nonlinearity (positive or negative feedback) and for every n the following holds: if the stiffness parameter is sufficiently large then there are 2a(n) essentially different stable ROPSs with n humps per time unit. a(n) is the number of essentially different binary n-stage shift register sequences.

The paper presents a study on the validity of perturbation methods, suchas the method of multiple scales, the Lindstedt–Poincare method and soon, in seeking for the periodic motions of the delayed dynamic systemsthrough an example of a Duffing oscillator with delayed velocityfeedback. An important observation in the paper is that the method ofmultiple scales, which has been widely used in nonlinear dynamics, worksonly for the approximate solutions of the first two orders, and givesrise to a paradox for the third-order approximate solutions of delaydifferential equations. The same problem appears when theLindstedt–Poincare method is implemented to find the third-orderapproximation of periodic solutions for delay differential equations,though it is effective in seeking for any order approximation ofperiodic solutions for nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Apossible explanation to the paradox is given by the results obtained byusing the method of harmonic balance. The paper also indicates thatthese perturbation methods, despite of some shortcomings, are stilleffective in analyzing the dynamics of a delayed dynamic system sincethe approximate solutions of the first two orders already enable one togain an insight into the primary dynamics of the system.

General Lagrange-hybrid functions and numerical solution of differential equations containing piecewise constant delays with bibliometric analysis

This paper considers the numerical solution of delay differential equations. The predictor–corrector scheme based on generalized multistep methods are implemented in variable order variable stepsize techniques. The formulae are represented in divided difference form where the integration coefficients are computed by a simple recurrence relation. This representation produces simpler calculation as compared with the modified divided difference form, but no sacrifice is made in efficiency and accuracy of the method. Numerical results prove that the method is reliable, efficient and accurate. The P- and Q-stability regions for a fixed stepsize of the predictor–corrector scheme are illustrated for various orders.

In this paper, a fitted finite difference method on Shishkin mesh is suggested to solve a class of third order singularly perturbed boundary value problems for ordinary delay differential equations of convection-diffusion type. Numerical solution converges uniformly to the exact solution. The order of convergence of the numerical method is almost first order. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the theoretical results.
