Generalized Popov theory applied to state-delayed systems (Q1592897)

The article contains dubious statements, like the one following Theorem 3.1 ``\(\dots\) the state \(x(t-\tau)\) may be interpreted as a fictitious input \(f(t)\) \(\dots\)''. In the sentence following equation (17) the claim ``\(\dots\) the proposed technique may also be applied to systems with time-varying delays\(\dots\)'' needs to be substantiated by restrictive conditions. Nonautonomous ordinal differential equations are rarely equivalent to autonomous ones (of the same order).
