We give bounds for the global attractor of the delay differential equation $x'(t) =-\mu x(t)+f(x(t-\tau))$, where $f$ is unimodal and has negative Schwarzian derivative. If $f$ and $\mu$ satisfy certain condition, then, regardless of the…
In this note we present an application of the Schwarzian derivative. By exploiting some properties of the Schwarzian derivative, we solve the equation appearing in the gravity-dilaton-antisymmetric tensor system. We also mention that this…
For equations $ x'(t) = -x(t) + \zeta f(x(t-h)), x \in \R, f'(0)= -1, \zeta > 0,$ with $C^3$-nonlinearity $f$ which has negative Schwarzian derivative and satisfies $xf(x) < 0$ for $x\not=0$, we prove convergence of all solutions to zero…
In the study of one dimensional dynamical systems one often assumes that the functions involved have a negative Schwarzian derivative. In this paper we consider a generalization of this condition. Specifically, we consider the interval…
We prove that the well-known 3/2 stability condition established for the Wright equation (WE) still holds if the nonlinearity $p(\exp(-x)-1)$ in WE is replaced by a decreasing or unimodal smooth function f with $f'(0)<0$ satisfying the…

We describe the way in which the sign of the Schwarzian derivative for a family of diffeomorphisms of the interval $I$ affects the dynamics of an associated many-to-one skew product map of the cylinder $(\R/\Z)\times I$.
Simplicity of the $37/24$-global stability criterion announced by E.M. Wright in 1955 and rigorously proved by B. B\'{a}nhelyi et al in 2014 for the delayed logistic equation raised the question of its possible extension for other…
This work is the first attempt to treat partial differential equations with discrete (concentrated) state-dependent delay. The main idea is to approximate the discrete delay term by a sequence of distributed delay terms (all with…
The complete set of analytic solutions of the geodesic equation in a Schwarzschild--(anti-)de Sitter space--time is presented. The solutions are derived from the Jacobi inversion problem restricted to the set of zeros of the theta function,…
The Shapiro effect, also known as the gravitational time delay, is close kin to the gravitational deflection of light that was the central topic of our Summer School. It is also an interesting test bed for exploring a topic that provides…
We introduce an infinite sequence of higher order Schwarzian derivatives closely related to the theory of monotone matrix functions. We generalize the classical Koebe lemma to maps with positive Schwarzian derivatives up to some order,…

Delay-differential equations are functional differential equations that involve shifts and derivatives with respect to a single independent variable. Some integrability candidates in this class have been identified by various means. For…
We prove some differential equations for the Riemann theta function associated to the Jacobian of a Riemann surface. The proof is based on some variants of a formula by Fay for the theta function, which are motivated by their analogues in…
Differential equations are derived for a continuous limit of iterated Schwarzian reflection of analytic curves, and solutions are interpreted as geodesics in an infinite-dimensional symmetric space geometry.
We consider the Schwarzian derivative $S_f$ of a complex polynomial $f$ and its iterates. We show that the sequence $S_{f^n}/d^{2n}$ converges to $-2(\partial G_f)^2$, for $G_f$ the escape-rate function of $f$. As a quadratic differential,…
