Recent Advances in Delay Differential and Difference Equations

Delay differential and difference equations serve as models for a range of processes in biology, physics, engineering and control theory. In this volume, the participants of the International Conference on Delay Differential and Difference Equations and Applications, Balatonfüred, Hungary, July 15-19, 2013 present recent research in this quickly-evolving field. The papers relate to the existence, asymptotic and oscillatory properties of the solutions; stability theory; numerical approximations; and applications to real world phenomena using deterministic and stochastic discrete and continuous dynamical systems.

Presents new research findings in the area of difference and differential equations Addresses applications as well as theoretical perspectives Of interest to a broad readership of researchers in applied mathematics Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
