Abstract.   We present a new comparison result for an equation of the form

u'(t) + m u(t) + n u([t]) = σ,   t ∈ [0,T]

where [ · ] denotes the greatest integer function.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.   34K06, 34K10.

Key words and phrases.   Differential inequalities, functional differential equations, piecewise constant delay, periodic boundary conditions.
