Abstract : This obtains sufficient condition for an autonomous functional differential equation to generate a strongly monotone semiflow on a suitable state space. This allows the application to functional differential equations of very powerful recent results on strongly monotone semiflows due to Hirsch and Matano. In addition, a very striking relationship is established between such functional differential equations and corresponding ordinary differential equations. An example, involving a biochemical feedback loop is considered. Keywords: stability; steady states.

CLAIMS
CONCEPTS
- autonomous functional differential equation
A functional differential equation with no explicit time dependence, where the derivative depends on the current state and past history.
Aliases: autonomous FDE
- functional differential equation
A differential equation whose evolution depends on the present state and on past states or histories.
Aliases: FDE
- hirsch and matano results
Recent theorems on strongly monotone semiflows that provide dynamical conclusions for ordered systems.
Aliases: Hirsch results, Matano results
- ordinary differential equation
A differential equation involving derivatives with respect to a single independent variable and no functional history term.
Aliases: ODE
- strongly monotone semiflow
A semiflow on an ordered state space that preserves order and is strictly order-improving for comparable distinct states.
Aliases: strongly monotone flow
- suitable state space
The function space on which the semiflow is defined and where the order structure needed for monotonicity is available.
