Instability of systems with linear delay reducible to singularly perturbed ones (Q847876): Difference between revisions

The stability of the following system of linear delay differential equations is considered in the case when one of the subsystems is singular: \[ \begin{aligned} {dx(t)\over dt}&= {1\over t} (A_1 x(t)+A_2 x(\mu t)+B_1 y(t)+B_2 y(\mu t))\,, \\ {dy(t)\over dt}&= (A_3 x(t)+A_4 x(\mu t)+B_3 y(t)+B_4 y(\mu t))\,, \end{aligned} \] where \(x=x(t)\) and \(y=y(t)\) are \(m\)-dimensional vector functions of time \(t\geq t_0>0\), \(\mu=\text{const}\), \(0<\mu< 1\), and the matrices \(A_j\), \(B_j\) are constant. Sufficient conditions are established for the instability of the solutions of such systems. The solution is based on the use of the Laplace transformation.
