Boundedness of solutions for a Lienard equation with multiple deviating arguments

Yuehua Yu, Changhong Zhao

Abstract:
We consider the Lienard equation
$$ x''(t)+f_1 (x(t)) (x'(t))^{2}+f_2 (x(t)) x'(t)+g_0(x(t)) +\sum_{j=1}^{m} g_{j}(x(t-\tau_{j}(t)))=p(t), $$
where $f_1$, $f_2$, $g_1 $ and $g_2$ are continuous functions, the delays $\tau_j(t)\geq 0$ are bounded continuous, and $p(t)$ is a bounded continuous function. We obtain sufficient conditions for all solutions and their derivatives to be bounded.
