Functional Differential Equations and Applications

Alexander Domoshnitsky is Full Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Sciences, Ariel University, Israel, since 2009. Earlier, he was Dean of the Natural Science Faculty at Ariel University, Israel, from 2008-2015. He also was Senior Lecturer and Dozent (Associated Professor) at Perm Polytechnic Institute, Perm, Russia, from 1984-1990. Then he was Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Sciences, Ariel University Center of Samaria, Ariel, Israel, from 1998-2009. He completed his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, Russia, in 1984, and M.Sc. in Mathematics from Perm State University, Russia, in 1979.His areas of research include non-oscillation, maximum principle, boundary value problems for functional differential equations, theory of functional, stability of integro-differential equations, and theory of impulsive differential equations. He has visited institutions and universities around the globe to deliver invited talks and lectures. Seven students have completed their Ph.D. under his direct supervision. He is Co-author of Nonoscillation Theory of Functional Differential Equations with Applications (Springer, 2012) and Oscillation, Stability and Asymptotic Properties for second and Higher Order Functional Differential Equations. With over 140 research articles published in international journals and conference proceedings of repute, he is on the editorial board of several mathematics journals and Editor-in-Chief of the Functional Differential Equations journal being published by Ariel University since 1993. Alexander Rasin is Lecturer at the Department of Mathematics, Ariel University, Israel. Earlier, he held postdoctoral positions at Bar-Ilan University and Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. Later, he joined the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Ariel University, Israel. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK, and master's degree from the Dnepropetrovsk National University, Ukraine. His research includes exactly solvable and integrable systems, symmetries for partial and difference equations, and exploring solutions for the wave equations. Alexander is Associate Editor of the Functional Differential Equations journal. His research articles have been published in several national and international journals of repute.Seshadev Padhi is Professor of Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics, Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi, India. He received the BOYSCAST award in 2004 from the Department of Science and Technology, the Government of India. He earlier worked at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Mississippi State University, USA. His areas of research include non-oscillation, stability, and positive solutions to boundary value problems. Two students have completed their Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Padhi. With over 100 research papers published in several international journals of repute, he is Active Reviewer for the Mathematical Review and Zentralblatt Math as well as several international journals of repute. He has co-authored two research monographs: Periodic Solutions of First-Order Functional Differential Equations in Population Dynamics (Springer, 2014) and Theory of Third-Order Differential Equations (Springer, 2013).
