Abstract

We consider the scalar linear second-order differential-difference equation with delay {fx159-01}. This equation is investigated by the method of polynomial quasisolutions based on the representation of an unknown function in the form of a polynomial {ie159-01}. Upon the substitution of this polynomial in the original equation, the residual Δ(t) = O(t N−1) appears. An exact analytic representation of this residual is obtained. We show the close connection between a linear differential-difference equation with variable coefficients and a model equation with constant coefficients, the structure of whose solution is determined by the roots of the characteristic quasipolynomial.
