Explicit Periodic Solutions in a Delay Differential Equation

Abstract: We construct stable periodic solutions for a simple form nonlinear delay differential equation (DDE) with a periodic coefficient. The equation involves one underlying nonlinearity with the multiplicative periodic coefficient. The well-known idea of reduction to interval maps is used in the case under consideration, when both the defining nonlinearity and the periodic coefficient are piece-wise constant functions. The stable periodic dynamics persist under a smoothing procedure in a small neighborhood of the discontinuity set. This work continues the research in paper [7] on stable periodic solutions of differential delay equations with periodic coefficients.
