Abstract

In this work we begin a theoretical and numerical investigation on the spectra of evolution operators of neutral renewal equations, with the stability of equilibria and periodic orbits in mind. We start from the simplest form of linear periodic equation with one discrete delay and fully characterize the spectrum of its monodromy operator. We perform numerical experiments discretizing the evolution operators via pseudospectral collocation, confirming the theoretical results and giving perspectives on the generalization to systems and to multiple delays. Although we do not attempt to perform a rigorous numerical analysis of the method, we give some considerations on a possible approach to the problem.
