Abstract

Periodic neutral functional differential equations are considered. Sufficient conditions for existence, uniqueness and global attractivity of periodic solutions are established by combining the theory of monotone semiflows generated by neutral functional differential equations and Krasnosel'skii's fixed-point theorem. These results are applied to a concrete neutral functional differential equation that can model single-species growth, the spread of epidemics, and the dynamics of capital stocks in a periodic environment.
