Stability analysis of certain nonlinear differential equation (Q2426934)

A novel stability criterion for all solutions of the neutral equation of the form \[ \frac{d}{dt}[x(t)+px(t-\tau)]+ax(t)-b\tanh x(t-\sigma)=0 \] to approach zero at \(t\to \infty\) is presented. The condition, which is expressed in terms of linear matrix inequality, is delay-dependent and can be easily solved by various efficient convex optimization algorithm.
