Abstract

In this paper, we establish some new criteria on the boundedness and asymptotic constancy of solutions for a class of scalar neutral functional differential equations with time-varying delays via differential inequality techniques. Our results are an improvement of existing ones and generalization of the Haddock conjecture.

Highlights

  • Consider the following scalar neutral functional differential equation (NFDE)[x(t) − px(t − r)] = −F (x(t)) + F (x(t − r)), (1.1)where F : R → R is a continuous and strictly increasing function

  • Liu [4, 5] corrected these two propositions, and successfully used them to analyze the asymptotic behavior of some functional differential equations

  • Since the asymptotic behavior of NFDE with time-varying delays has not been touched in [1,3,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15], one can find that the analysis method of the dynamical systems in the above references cannot be applied to prove x1 3 satisfies (1.5), it follows from Theorem
