Uniqueness of rapidly oscillating periodic solutions to a singularly perturbed differential-delay equation

In this paper, we prove a uniqueness theorem for rapidly oscillating periodic solutions of the singularly perturbed differential-delay equation $varepsilon dot{x}(t)=-x(t)+f(x(t-1))$. In particular, we show that, for a given oscillation rate, there exists exactly one periodic solution to the above e...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we prove a uniqueness theorem for rapidly oscillating periodic solutions of the singularly perturbed differential-delay equation $varepsilon dot{x}(t)=-x(t)+f(x(t-1))$. In particular, we show that, for a given oscillation rate, there exists exactly one periodic solution to the above equation. Our proof relies upon a generalization of Lin's method, and is valid under generic conditions.
