In this chapter we are concerned with an investigation of the asymptotic behavior, ast→ ∞ of positive nonconstant solutions of the autonomous delay-differential equationand several of its variants wherea,bj, τj(j= 1,2,...,n) are positive constants. Eqn. (1.1.1) corresponds to a generalization of an equation of the formin whichr, τ,Kare positive numbers. It has been suggested by Hutchinson [1948] that (1.1.2) can be used to model the dynamics of a single species population growing towards a saturation levelKwith a constant reproduction rater; the term \[in (1.1.2) denotes a density dependent feedback mechanism which takes τ units of time to respond to changes in the population density represented in (1.1.2) byN. By a change of variables, (1.1.2) can be brought to an equation of the formwhere α is a positive constant. Eqn.(1.1.3) has been studied by numerous authors and notably, by Kakutani and Markus [1958], Jones [1962] and Wright [1955].
