โฆ Synopsis
If in the Verhulst equation for population growth the reproduction factor depends on the history then the equilibrium may become unstable and oscillations and even non-constant periodic solutions may occur. It is shown that the equilibrium is unstable if the reproduction factor at time t is, up to a sufficiently large factor, an arbitrary average of the population densities in the interval (t-2, t-1).

We consider the rate equation n = rn for the density n of a single species population in a constant environment. We assume only that there is a positive constant solution n\*, that the rate of increase r depends on the history of n and that r decreases for great n. The stability properties of the so
In this note, new criteria for the global asymptotic stability and the global exponential stability of a class of uncertain time-lag systems with time-varying delays are proposed. A numerical example is given to illustrate our main results.
