In this paper we show that the method of upper and lower solutions coupled with the monotone iterative technique is valid to obtain constructive proofs of existence of solutions for nonlinear periodic boundary value problems of functional differential equations without assuming properties of monoton

โฆ Synopsis
This paper is concerned with a generalization of a functional differential equation known as the pantograph equation. The pantograph equation contains a linear functional argument. In this paper we generalize this functional argument to include nonlinear polynomials. In contrast to the entire solutions generated by the pantograph equation for the retarded case, we show that in the nonlinear case natural boundaries occur. These boundaries are linked to the Julia set of the polynomial functional argument. ๏ฃฉ 2002 Elsevier Science (USA)

By means of a new geometrical index with Z p group actions, multiplicity results for a certain class of nonautonomous time periodic functional differential systems are obtained.
We introduce a method to obtain explicitly periodic solutions of some types of functional differential equations whose periods depend rationally on integral delays. Several applications of this method are given.
