Recently, there has been increasing interest related to the theory of delay differential equations (DDEs), due to their important applications in physics, biology, ecology, and physiology. The main objective of this well-focused workshop (DDEs-TANTs 18) is to provide an opportunity to study the new trends and analytical insights of the delay differential equations, existence and uniqueness of the solutions, boundedness and persistence, oscillatory behavior of the solutions, stability and bifurcation analysis, parameter estimations and sensitivity analysis, and numerical investigations of solutions. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: (i) Development of novel theories or improvement to existing theories on delay differential equations; (ii) Development of novel numerical approaches for delay differential equations; (iii) Stability, sensitivity analysis and bifurcation analysis of time delay models; (iv) Optimal control of nonlinear delay differential systems.

The scientific program of the workshop will consist of 50-minute plenary lectures, 30-minute invited lectures and 20-minute contributed talks. 

“The selected papers presented at DDEs-TANRs workshop will be published in a special issue of the journal “Discrete & Continuous Dynamical Systems – S (DCDS-S)”, one of the American Institute of Mathematical Series.“
