Stability analysis of a linear-fractional delay system (Q1603147)

A nonlinear system of functional-differential equations with delay \[ \frac{dx(t)}{dt}=\{-V[A+X(t)]^{-1}+D[X(t)-B]^{-1}\}x(t) +Qx(t-\tau)+X(t-\tau)Gx(t-\tau) \tag{1} \] is considered, and the asymptotic stability of its solution \(x(t)\equiv 0\) is studied. Here, \(V, A, D, B, Q\), and \(G\) are square matrices with constant positive coefficients, \(t\geq 0, \tau\geq 0\), and \[ x(t)=(x_1(t), x_2(t),\dots, x_n(t))^T, \quad X(t)=\text{diag}\{x_1(t), x_2(t),\dots,x_n(t)\}. \]
