Existence and uniqueness of anti-periodic solutions for a class of nonlinear n-th order functional differential equations
Abstract. In this paper, we use the method of coincide degree theory to establish new results on the existence and uniqueness of anti-periodic solutions for a class of nonlinear \(n\)-th order functional differential equations of the form \[x^{(n)}(t)=F(t, x_t, x^{(n-1)}_t, x(t), x^{(n-1)}(t), x(t-\tau(t)), x^{(n-1)}(t-\sigma(t))).\]
Keywords: anti-periodic solution, coincidence degree, nonlinear \(n\)-th-order equation, delay.
