    Existence of positive periodic solutions for non-autonomous functional differential equations (English)
    0 references
    The authors discuss the existence of positive periodic solutions to the following first-order functional-differential equation of the form NEWLINE\[NEWLINE y'(t)=-a(t)y(t)+\lambda h(t) f(y(t-\tau(t))),NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(a(t), h(t)\) and \(\tau(t)\) are continuous and nonnegative \(T\)-periodic functions, \(\lambda >0\) is a constant. Some sufficient conditions are established. A fixed-point theorem due to Krasnoselskij is used to prove the existence of periodic solutions.
