Original Abstract

The paper is concerned with a linear neutral differential equation \dot y(t) = −c(t)y(t − τ(t)) + d(t) \dot y(t − δ(t)) where c: [t_0, ∞) → (0, ∞), d: [t_0, ∞) → [0, ∞), t_0 ∈ R and τ, δ : [t_0, ∞) → (0, r], r ∈ R , r > 0 are continuous functions. A new criterion is given for the existence of positive strictly decreasing solutions. The proof is based on the Rybakowski variant of a topological Wazewski principle suitable for differential equations of the delayed type. Unlike in the previous investigations known this time the progress is achieved by using a special system of initial functions satisfying a so-called sewing condition. The result obtained is extended to more general equations. Comparisons with known results are given as well.

Keywords

Delay; positive solution; neutral equation; sewing condition; retract method.
