Optimal linear stability condition for scalar differential equations with distributed delay

چکیده
Linear scalar differential equations with distributed delays appear in the study of the local stability of nonlinear differential equations with feedback, which are common in biology and physics. Negative feedback loops tend to promote oscillations around steady states, and their stability depends on the particular shape of the delay distribution. Since in applications the mean delay is often the only reliable information available about the distribution, it is desirable to find conditions for stability that are independent from the shape of the distribution. We show here that for a given mean delay, the linear equation with distributed delay is asymptotically stable if the associated differential equation with a discrete delay is asymptotically stable. We illustrate this criterion on a compartment model of hematopoietic cell dynamics to obtain sufficient conditions for stability.

Asymptotic Properties, Nonoscillation, and Stability for Scalar First Order Linear Autonomous Neutral Delay Differential Equations
We study scalar first order linear autonomous neutral delay differential equations with distributed type delays. This article presents some new results on the asymptotic behavior, the nonoscillation and the stability. These results are obtained via a real root (with an appropriate property) of the characteristic equation. Applications to the special cases such as (non-neutral) delay differentia...

متن کاملStability of two classes of improved backward Euler methods for stochastic delay differential equations of neutral type
This paper examines stability analysis of two classes of improved backward Euler methods, namely split-step $(theta, lambda)$-backward Euler (SSBE) and semi-implicit $(theta,lambda)$-Euler (SIE) methods, for nonlinear neutral stochastic delay differential equations (NSDDEs). It is proved that the SSBE method with $theta, lambdain(0,1]$ can recover the exponential mean-square stability with some...
