In this work, we prove the instability of solutions for a class of nonlinear functional differential equations of the eighth order with n-deviating arguments. We employ the functional Lyapunov approach and the Krasovskii criteria to prove the main results. The obtained results extend some existing results in the literature.

In this paper, we consider the Duffing type p-Laplacian equation with multiple deviating arguments of the form $$({\varphi}_p(x^{\prime}(t)))^{\prime}+Cx^{\prime}(t)+go(t,x(t))+\sum_{k=1}^ngk(t,x(t-{\tau}_k(t)))=e(t)$$. By using the coincidence degree theory, we establish new results on the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions for the above equation. Moreover, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.
