Lyapunov-Razumikhin techniques for state-dependent delay differential equations (Q2235672)

In this paper, the authors consider the general delay differential equation (DDE) in \(d\) dimensions with \(N\) discrete state-dependent delays \[ \left\{\begin{array}{ll}\dot u(t)=f(t,u(t),u(t-\tau_1(t,u(t)),\dots,u(t-\tau_N(t,u(t)))), &t\ge t_0,\\ u(t)=\varphi(t), &t\le t_0 \end{array}\right. \] and prove Lyapunov stability and asymptotic stability results using Lyapunov-Razumikhin techniques. They apply these results to the model state-dependent DDE \[ \left\{\begin{array}{ll}\dot u(t)=\mu u(t)+\sigma u(t-a-cu(t)), &t\ge 0,\\ u(t)=\varphi(t), &t\le 0. \end{array}\right. \]
