We apply these to continue the analysis of a differential equation from cell biology with state-dependent delay, implicitly defined as the time when the solution of a nonlinear ODE, that depends on the state of the DDE, reaches a threshold. For this application, previous results are restricted to initial histories belonging to the so-called solution manifold. We here generalize the results to a set of nonnegative Lipschitz initial histories which is much larger than the solution manifold and moreover convex. Additionally, we show that the solutions define a semiflow that is continuous in the state-component in the $C([-h,0],\\R^2)$ topology, which is a variant of established differentiability of the semiflow in $C^1([-h,0],\\R^2)$. For an associated system we show invariance of convex and compact sets under the semiflow for finite time.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-03-05T11:50:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "state-dependent delay", "cell biology", "lipschitz functions", "continuous semiflow", "solution manifold" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
