We introduce Runge–Kutta (RK) methods for Retarded Functional Differential Equations (RFDEs). With respect to RK methods (A, b, c) for Ordinary Differential Equations the weights vector b ∈ ℝs and the coefficients matrix A ∈ ℝs×s are replaced by ℝs-valued and ℝs×s-valued polynomial functions b(·) and A(·) respectively. Such methods for RFDEs are different from Continuous RK (CRK) methods where only the weights vector is replaced by a polynomial function. We develop order conditions and construct explicit methods up to the convergence order four.

Abstract In this paper, we establish new results on the existence of positive periodic solutions for the following high-order neutral functional differential equation (NFDE) $$\begin{array}{} (x(t)-cx(t-\sigma)) ^{(2m)}+f(x(t)) x'(t)+g(t,x(t-\delta))=e(t). \end{array}$$ The interesting thing is that g has a strong singularity at x = 0 and satisfies a small force condition at x = ∞, which is different from the corresponding ones known in the literature. Two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.
