Abstract

This work is concerned with a class of fourth order semilinear ordinary differential equation with pseudo almost periodic environment and multiple delays. Specifically, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the pseudo almost periodic solutions. Furthermore, we discuss the global stability of the considered equation.
