Asymptotics of Solutions to a Differential Equation with Delay and Nonlinearity Having Simple Behaviour at Infinity

Abstract

In this paper, we study nonlocal dynamics of a nonlinear delay differential equation. This equation with different types of nonlinearities appears in medical, physical, biological, and ecological applications. The type of nonlinearity in this paper is a generalization of two important for applications types of nonlinearities: piecewise constant and compactly supported functions. We study asymptotics of solutions under the condition that nonlinearity is multiplied by a large parameter. We construct all solutions of the equation with initial conditions from a wide subset of the phase space and find conditions on the parameters of equations for having periodic solutions.
