Abstract
By means of Mawhin’s continuation theorem and some analysis methods, the existence of 2kT-periodic solutions is studied for a class of neutral functional differential equations, and then a homoclinic solution is obtained as a limit of a certain subsequence of the above periodic solutions set.
