Exponential stability of periodic delay differential equations (Q2388033)

The system of delay differential equations \[ \frac{dx}{dt}=\sum_{i=1}^mA_i(t)x(h_i(t)),\qquad t\in(0,\infty),\tag{1} \] is considered. Here, \(x\in \mathbb{R}^n, A_i\) are continuous periodic \(n\times n\)-matrices with period \(\theta\), \(\theta>0\); \(h_i(t)=t-g_i(t)\) are periodic with period \(\omega\); the delays \(g_i\), \(g_i\geq0\), are bounded in [\(0,\infty\)]. Sufficient conditions for the exponential stability of system (1) are obtained.
