Global attractivity of a class of nonlinear functional-differential equations and its applications (Q2732379)

The author gives a 3/2-type stability result [see e.g. \textit{J. A. Yorke}, J. Differ. Equations 7, 189-202 (1970; Zbl 0184.12401)] for scalar nonautonomous delay differential equations of the form NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \dot x(t) + a(t) ( x(t)+1) \log (1+x(t)) + (1+x(t)) F( t,x(\cdot)) = 0. NEWLINE\]NEWLINE The result is applied to the red-blood cell growth model NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \dot x(t) = -\mu x(t) + p e^{-x(t-\tau)}. NEWLINE\]NEWLINE NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe paper suffers from misprints (even in the mathematical formulas), which make the presentation unclear.
