Extract

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of the differential-difference equation w'(s) = g(s)[w(s— 1)—w(s)], where g(s) is a continuous real-valued function. g(s) is assumed to have one of the following asymptotic behaviours: algebraic, exponential algebraic, periodic or zero.
