Solution manifolds of differential systems with discrete state-dependent delays are almost graphs (2208.06491v1)

Abstract: We show that for a system $$ x'(t)=g(x(t-d_1(Lx_t)),\dots,x(t-d_k(Lx_t))) $$ of $n$ differential equations with $k$ discrete state-dependent delays the solution manifold, on which solution operators are differentiable, is nearly as simple as a graph over a closed subspace in $C^1([-r,0],\mathbb{R}^n)$. The map $L$ is continuous and linear from $C([-r,0],\mathbb{R}^n)$ onto a finite-dimensional vectorspace, and $g$ as well as the delay functions $d_{\kappa}$ are assumed to be continuously differentiable.
