A novel approach to exponential stability of nonlinear systems with time-varying delays (Q611847)

The authors attempt to analyze the stability of nonlinear systems with time-varying delays by the concepts of generalized Dahlquist constant, generalized relative Dahlquist constant and relative minimal Lipschitz constant. Particularly, two sufficient conditions are obtained for the exponential stability of nonlinear system with time-varying delays which provide exponential decay estimates of solutions to the system.
