Asymptotic stability for delayed logistic type equations (Q2473106)

The author considers a general delayed logistic equation \[ x'(t)= b(t)x(t)[1- L(x_t)], \] where \(L: C(-r; 0;\mathbb{R})\to\mathbb{R}\) is a bounded linear operator, \(x_t(s)= x(t+ s)\) and \(b\) is a positive continuous function. The global asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium is proven under some condition on a negative feedback term without delay dominating the delayed effect. In the last section the global stability of more general scalar delay differential equations is studied.
