Existence of positive periodic solutions for neutral functional differential equations

Zhixiang Li, Xiao Wang

Abstract:
We find sufficient conditions for the existence of positive periodic solutions of two kinds of neutral differential equations. Using Krasnoselskii's fixed-point theorem in cones, we obtain results that extend and improve previous results. These results are useful mostly when applied to neutral equations with delay in bio-mathematics.

An addendum was posted on April 17, 2007. The proof of the manin result is incorrect because the two sets $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are not open in the Banach space $X$.
