Blow-up behavior of Hammerstein-type delay Volterra integral equations

Abstract

We consider the blow-up behavior of Hammerstein-type delay Volterra integral equations (DVIEs). Two types of delays, i.e., vanishing delay (pantograph delay) and non-vanishing delay (constant delay), are considered. With the same assumptions of Volterra integral equations (VIEs), in a similar technology to VIEs, the blow-up conditions of the two types of DVIEs are given. The blow-up behaviors of DVIEs with non-vanishing delay vary with different initial functions and the length of the lag, while DVIEs with pantograph delay own the same blow-up behavior of VIEs. Some examples and applications to delay differential equations illustrate this influence.

Keywords
