Asymptotic stability analysis of certain neutral differential equations: a descriptor system approach (Q2390397)

The authors investigate the asymptotic stability of the neutral differential equation \[ \frac d{dt}[x(t)+px(t-\tau)]=-ax(t)+b\tanh(x(t-\tau)) \] by applying some transformation and an integral inequality introduced in this paper. The asymptotic stability criteria are formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of these results.
