Introduction and preliminaries Differential equations with piecewise constant argument which were firstly considered by Cooke and Wiener 1 and Shah and Wiener 2 usually describe hybrid dynamical systems a combination of continuous and discrete and so combine properties of both differential and difference equations. Over the years great attention has been paid to the study of the existence of almost-periodic-type solutions of this type of equations. There are many remarkable works on this field see 3-10 and references therein . Particularly the second-order neutral delaydifferential equations with piecewise constant argument of the form x J px j - 1 qx 2 t 1 2 f t have been intensively studied for p f 1 by different methods where denotes the greatest integer function p q are real nonzero constants and f t is almost periodic. In 6 Li introduced the concepts of odd-weak solution even-weak solution and weak solution of . Some .
