On Periodic Boundary-Value Problems for Systems of Functional-Differential Equations

Abstract

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique solution to a periodic boundary-value problem for all systems of first-order functional-differential equations from a given family of systems. Families of systems of functional-differential equations are detrmined by the norms of positive functional operators of equations of the system. The verification of necessary and sufficient conditions of the existence of a unique periodic solution for all systems from a given family consists of the verification of positivity of a finite number of a real-valued functions defined on a finite-dimensional set.
