On a periodic neutral logistic equation

Abstract

The oscillatory and asymptotic behaviour of the positive solutions of the autonomous neutral delay logistic equationwith r, c, T, K ∈ (0, ∞) has been recently investigated in [2]. More recently the dynamics of the periodic delay logistic equationin which r, K are periodic functions of period τ and m is a positive integer is considered in [6]. The purpose of the following analysis is to obtain sufficient conditions for the existence and linear asymptotic stability of a positive periodic solution of a periodic neutral delay logistic equationin which Ṅ denotes and r, K, c are positive continuous periodic functions of period τ at and m is a positive integer. For the origin and biological relevance of (1.3) we refer to [2].
