Dropping some parameters, it is
xdot(t) = xt / (1+xt^n) - x(t) ,
where xt = x(t-tau). In other words, the derivative function depends on the variable in question at the present time (t) but also on a past time (t-tau).
Offhand, my impression is that this is not possible using the IntegrateODE operation, which seems to be set up only to pass state vectors at the present time. But maybe there is a tricky workaround....
I suppose one can also write a low-level program, but then one loses all the nice features built into IntegrateODE....
Ideas?
