The 3/2 stability theorem for one-dimensional delay-differential equations with unbounded delay (Q1193192)

Conditions for uniform stability and uniform asymptotic stability are derived for equations of the type \(x'(t)=-a(t)x(g(t))\). The main assumptions are that \(g(t)\to\infty\) as \(t\to\infty\) and \(\sup_{t\geq 0}A(t)\leq 3/2\), \(\inf_{t\geq 0}A(t)>0\), where \(A(t)=\int^ t_{g(t)}a(s)ds\).
