Abstract

We consider the existence of a symmetric periodic solution for the following distributed delay differential equation

$ x^{\prime}(t) = -f\left(\int_{0}^{1}x(t-s)ds\right), $

where $ f(x) = r\sin x $ with $ r>0 $. It is shown that the well studied second order ordinary differential equation, known as the nonlinear pendulum equation, derives a symmetric periodic solution of period $ 2 $, expressed in terms of the Jacobi elliptic functions, for the delay differential equation. We here apply the approach in Kaplan and Yorke (1974) for a differential equation with discrete delay to the distributed delay differential equation.
