Generalized Wright conjecture for equations with negative Schwarzian

Consider the Wright delay differential equation

x(t)=x(t)+f(x(t1)).x'(t)=-x(t)+f(x(t-1)).

Assume that all conditions (H) on ff are satisfied. Generalized Wright conjecture. If f(0)<π/2-f'(0)<\pi/2, then

limt+x(t)=0\lim\limits_{t\to +\infty}x(t)=0

for every solution x(t)x(t). This generalizes Wright's conjecture in the setting of nonlinearities with negative Schwarzian derivative; the source states that the original Wright conjecture remains open, and proposes this formulation based on one-dimensional dynamics results for maps with negative Schwarzian derivative.
