Abstrakt: A method to study asymptotic properties of solutions to systems of differential equations with distributed time-delays and Boolean-type nonlinearities (step functions) is offered. Such systems arise in many applications, but this paper deals with specific examples of such systems coming from genetic regulatory networks. A challenge is to analyze stable stationary points which belong to the discontinuity set of the system (thresholds). The paper describes an algorithm of localizing stationary points in the presence of delays as well as stability analysis around such points. The basic technical tool consists in replacing step functions by the so-called “logoid functions” and investigating the smooth systems thus obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
