Uniqueness of rapidly oscillating periodic solutions to a singularly perturbed differential-delay equation

Hari P. Krishnan

Abstract:
In this paper, we prove a uniqueness theorem for rapidly oscillating periodic solutions of the singularly perturbed differential-delay equation
$\varepsilon \dot{x}(t)=-x(t)+f(x(t-1))$.
In particular, we show that, for a given oscillation rate, there exists exactly one periodic solution to the above equation. Our proof relies upon a generalization of Lin's method, and is valid under generic conditions.
