In this paper, we prove that, under appropriate hypotheses, the odd-order nonlinear neutral delay differential equation has the same oscillatory character as the associated linear equation with periodic coefficients Our method is based on the establishment of a new comparison theorem for the oscillation of Eq.(E). Hence we prove that the parameter set such that Eq.(E) has a nonoscillatory solution is closed in certain metric space, and avoid the difficulty to set the necessary and sufficient condition for the oscillation of Eq.(E).

Fixed Points and Asymptotic Properties of Neutral Stochastic Delay Differential Equations

This paper discusses a linear neutral stochastic differential equation with variable delays. By using fixed point theory, the necessary and sufficient conditions are given to ensure that the trivial solution to such an equation is pth moment asymptotically stable. These conditions do not require the boundedness of delays, nor derivation of delays. An example was also given for illustration.

STABILITIES OF (A,B,C) AND NPDIRK METHODS FOR SYSTEMS OF NEUTRAL DELAY-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH MULTIPLE DELAYS

Consider the following neutral delay-differential equations with multiple delays (NMDDE)where γ> 0, L, Mj and Nj are constant complex- value d×d matrices. A sufficient condition for the asymptotic stability of NMDDE system (0.1) is given. The stability of Butcher's (A,B,C)-method for systems of NMDDE are studied. In addition, we present a parallel diagonally-implicit iteration RK (PDIRK) methods(NPDIRK) for systems of NMDDE, which is easier to be implemented than fully implicit RK methods. We also investigate the stability of a special class of NPDIRK methods by analyzing their stability behaviors of the solutions of (0.1).

Multiplicity-induced optimal gains of an inverted pendulum system under a delayed proportional-derivative-acceleration feedback

This paper studies the stabilization to an inverted pendulum under a delayed proportional-derivative-acceleration(PDA)feedback,which can be used to understand human balance in quiet standing.The closed-loop system is described by a neutral delay differential equation(NDDE).The optimal feedback gains(OFGs)that make the exponential decaying rate maximized are determined when the characteristic equation of the closed-loop has a repeated real root with multiplicity 4.Such a property is called multiplicity-induced dominancy of time-delay systems,and has been discussed intensively by many authors for retarded delay differential equations(RDDEs).This paper shows that multiplicity-induced dominancy can be achieved in NDDEs.In addition,the OFGs are delay-dependent,and decrease sharply to small numbers correspondingly as the delay increases from zero and varies slowly with respect to moderate delays.Thus,the inverted pendulum can be well-stabilized with moderate delays and relatively small feedback gains.The result might be understandable that the elderly with obvious response delays can be well-stabilized with a delayed PDA feedback controller.

MEAN SQUARE STABILITY AND DISSIPATIVITY OF SPLIT- STEP THETA METHOD FOR NONLINEAR NEUTRAL STOCHASTIC DELAY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH POISSON JUMPS

In this paper, a split-step 0 （SST） method is introduced and used to solve the non- linear neutral stochastic differential delay equations with Poisson jumps （NSDDEwPJ）. The mean square asymptotic stability of the SST method for nonlinear neutral stochastic differential equations with Poisson jumps is studied. It is proved that under the one-sided Lipschitz condition and the linear growth condition, the SST method with ∈ E （0, 2 -√2） is asymptotically mean square stable for all positive step sizes, and the SST method with ∈ E （2 -√2, 1） is asymptotically mean square stable for some step sizes. It is also proved in this paper that the SST method possesses a bounded absorbing set which is independent of initial data, and the mean square dissipativity of this method is also proved.
