Summary:
We use a modification of Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem due to Burton (see [Liapunov functionals, fixed points and stability by Krasnoselskii's theorem, Nonlinear Stud. 9 (2002), 181--190], Theorem 3) to show that the totally nonlinear neutral differential equation with variable delay \begin{equation*} x'(t) = -a(t)h (x(t)) + c(t)x'(t-g(t))Q' (x(t-g(t))) + G (t,x(t),x(t-g(t))), \end{equation*} has a periodic solution. We invert this equation to construct a fixed point mapping expressed as a sum of two mappings such that one is compact and the other is a large contraction. We show that the mapping fits very nicely for applying the modification of Krasnoselskii's theorem so that periodic solutions exist.
