Existence and Lyapunov stability of periodic solutions for a generalized higher-order neutral differential equation are established. 1. Introduction In recent years there is a good amount of work on periodic solutions for neutral differential equations see 1-11 and the references cited therein . For example the following neutral differential equations d u f - ku t - t g1 u f g2 u f - T1 p t ou x f cx f - r f x f g x f - t f p f x t - cx t - ơyA1 f x f x f gi f x t s da s j p f -r have been studied in 1 3 8 respectively and existence criteria of periodic solutions were established for these equations. Afterwards along with intensive research on the p-Laplacian 2 Boundary Value Problems some authors 4 11 start to consider the following p-Laplacian neutral functional differential equations ệp x t - cx t - Ơ g t x t - T t p t ệp xạ - cx f - Ơ f x ạ g xụ - T i e t and by using topological degree theory and some analysis skills existence results of periodic solutions for have been presented. In general most of the existing results are concentrated on lower-order neutral functional differential equations while studies on higher-order
