We present an algorithm for determining the stability of delay differential equations (DDEs)with time-periodic coefficients and time-periodic delays. The DDEs are first posed as an equivalent system of partial differential equations (PDEs) along with a nonlinear boundary condition. A Galerkin approximation is then employed to discretize the PDEs into a set of time-periodic ordinary differential...
