This note concerns with the asymptotic properties of solutions of the delay logistic equation. In particular, we point out some false statements in the recent paper Khan et al. [Khan H, Liao SJ, Mohapatra RN, Vajravelu K. An analytical solution for a nonlinear time-delay model in biology. Commun Nonlinear Sci Numer Simulat 2009;14:3141–3148]. Moreover, we show that the author’s method is not able to reveal the basic and important features of the dynamics of the delay logistic equation, and gives misleading results.
Research highlights► Asymptotic behavior of solutions of the delay logistic equation. ► Applicability of approximate methods for delay differential equations. ► Correction of some false results obtained by homotopy analysis method.
