In [3] Fuller introduced an index (now called the Fuller index) in order to study periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations. The objective of this paper is to give a simple generalisation of the Fuller index which can be used to study periodic points of flows in Banach spaces. We do not claim any significant breakthrough but merely suggest that the simplistic approach, presented here, might prove useful for the study of non-linear differential equations. We show our results can be used to study functional differential equations.

We present some new oscillation criteria for second-order neutral partial functional differential equations of the form(∂/∂t){p(t)(∂/∂t)[u(x,t)+∑i=1lλi(t)u(x,t-τi)]}=a(t)Δu(x,t)+∑k=1sak(t)Δu(x,t-ρk(t))-q(x,t)f(u(x,t))-∑j=1mqj(x,t)fj(u(x,t-σj)),(x,t)∈Ω×R+≡G, whereΩis a bounded domain in the EuclideanN-spaceRNwith a piecewise smooth boundary∂ΩandΔis the Laplacian inRN. Our results improve some known results and show that the oscillation of some second-order linear ordinary differential equations implies the oscillation of relevant nonlinear neutral partial functional differential equations.

The stability of the systems given by ordinary differential equations or functional-differential equations has been studied by many mathematicians. The most powerful tool in this field seems to be the Liapunov’s second method (see, for example [6]).

A brief survey of recent results on distributional and entire solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODE) and functional differential equations (FDE) is given. Emphasis is made on linear equations with polynomial coefficients. Some work on generalized-function solutions of integral equations is also mentioned.

We introduce Runge–Kutta (RK) methods for Retarded Functional Differential Equations (RFDEs). With respect to RK methods (A, b, c) for Ordinary Differential Equations the weights vector b ∈ ℝs and the coefficients matrix A ∈ ℝs×s are replaced by ℝs-valued and ℝs×s-valued polynomial functions b(·) and A(·) respectively. Such methods for RFDEs are different from Continuous RK (CRK) methods where only the weights vector is replaced by a polynomial function. We develop order conditions and construct explicit methods up to the convergence order four.
