Positive Periodic Solution for the Generalized Neutral Differential Equation with Multiple Delays and Impulse

Abstract

By using a fixed point theorem of strict-set-contraction, which is different from Gaines and Mawhin's continuation theorem and abstract continuation theory fork-set contraction, we established some new criteria for the existence of positive periodic solution of the following generalized neutral delay functional differential equation with impulse:x'(t)=x(t)[a(t)-f(t,x(t),x(t-τ1(t,x(t))),…,x(t-τn(t,x(t))),x'(t-γ1(t,x(t))),…,x'(t-γm(t,x(t))))],  t≠tk,  k∈Z+;  x(tk+)=x(tk-)+θk(x(tk)),  k∈Z+. As applications of our results, we also give some applications to several Lotka-Volterra models and new results are obtained.
