The existence of multiple positive periodic solutions for functional differential equations. (English) Zbl 1167.34371

Summary: The existence of multiple positive solutions for the integral equation
\[ x(t)= \int _t ^{t+\omega}G(t,s)b(s)f(s,x(s-\tau_1(s)),\dots , x(s-\tau_n(s)))ds \]
is studied by using fixed point index theory. Using these results we obtain new results on the existence of multiple positive periodic solutions for some first order periodic functional differential equations.
