Abstract Some “sharp” conditions are established for a kind of linear neutral difference equations with continuous arguments not to possess eventually positive solutions. The existence and asymptotic behavior are obtained for positive solutions of the kind of equations. The results for linear cases are further extended to nonlinear ones. A comparison principle, which is a necessary and sufficient condition, for linear equations not to possess eventually positive solutions is also presented.

SynopsisA necessary and sufficient condition is given for the uniform exponential stability of certain autonomous differential–difference equations whose phase space is a Hilbert space. It is shown that this property is preserved when the delays depend homogeneously on a nonnegative parameter.

Abstract We derive a blow-up dichotomy for positive solutions of fractional semilinear heat equations on the whole space. That is, within a certain class of convex source terms, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition on the source for all positive solutions to become unbounded in finite time. Moreover, we show that this condition is equivalent to blow-up of all positive solutions of a closely-related scalar ordinary differential equation.

SynopsisA necessary and sufficient condition is developed for determination of the uniform stability of a class of non-autonomous linear differential-difference equations. This condition is the analogue of the Liapunov criterion for linear ordinary differential equations.

AbstractIt is proved a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of at least one Ψ- bounded solution of a linear non- homogeneous Lyapunov matrix differential equation. In addition, it is given a result in connection with the asymptotic behavior of the Ψ- bounded solutions of this equation.
