The presence of the delay term in first-order hyperbolic delay differential equations poses significant challenges in both analysis and numerical solutions. The delay term also makes it more difficult to use standard numerical methods for solving differential equations, as these methods often require that the differential equation be evaluated at the current time step. To overcome these challenges, specialized numerical methods and analytical techniques have been developed for solving first-order hyperbolic delay differential equations. We investigated and presented analytical results, such as the maximum principle and stability results. The propagation of discontinuities in the solution was also discussed, providing a framework for understanding its behavior. We presented a fractional-step method using a backward finite difference scheme and showed that the scheme is almost first-order convergent in space and time through the derivation of the error estimate. Additionally, we demonstrated an application of the proposed method to the problem of variable delay differential equations. We demonstrated the practical application of the proposed method to solving variable delay differential equations. The proposed algorithm is based on a numerical approximation method that utilizes a finite difference scheme to discretize the differential equation. We validated our theoretical results through numerical experiments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computation11030057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,10]],"date-time":"2023-03-10T03:02:08Z","timestamp":1678417328000},"page":"57","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Fractional-Step Method with Interpolation for Solving a System of First-Order 2D Hyperbolic Delay Differential Equations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5758-4703","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karthick","family":"Sampath","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, College of Engineering and Technology, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur 603203, Tamilnadu, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2102-5322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Subburayan","family":"Veerasamy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, College of Engineering and Technology, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur 603203, Tamilnadu, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0634-2370","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ravi P.","family":"Agarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Texas A & M University-Kingsville, 700 University Blvd., Kingsville, TX 78363-8202, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cam.2005.01.047","article-title":"A non-local PDE model for population dynamics with state-selective delay: Local theory and global attractors","volume":"190","author":"Alexander","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
