Periodic solutions for neutral coupled oscillators network with feedback and time-varying delay

Abstract

This paper is considered to be about the existence of periodic solutions for neutral coupled oscillators network with feedback control and time-varying delay (NCONFT). Based on the systematic method which is firstly applied for NCONFT and consisting of coincidence degree theory, graph theory, and Lyapunov method, some sufficient criteria are obtained to verify the existence of periodic solutions for NCONFT. What’s more, how coupling topology, feedback control, and time-varying delay affect the existence of periodic solutions for NCONFT can be shown by these sufficient criteria. Finally, a numerical simulation is offered to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.
