The author deals with the nonlinear system of delay-type functional-differential equations \[ \dot x= F(t, x_t)= A(t)x(t)+ g(t, x_t),\quad -h\leq s\leq o,\quad t\in\mathbb{R}_+, \] with \(x_t(s)= x(t+ s)\), the functional \(F: G^h_H\to \mathbb{R}^n\) is defined in the domain \(G^h_H= \mathbb{R}_+\times \Omega^h_H\), \(\Omega^h_H\) is the open ball of radius \(H> 0\) in the space of continuous vector functions of the closed interval \([-h,0]\) with the norm \(\|\varphi\|= \max\{|\varphi(s)|: -h\leq s\leq 0\}\), moreover, the functional \(g(t,\varphi)= 0(\|\varphi\|)\) for \(\|\varphi\|\to 0\). Using the properties of a Lyapunov-Krasovskij-type functional, the author finds sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability and instability of the trivial solution to this system. The obtained results the author illustrates by some examples of constructing the above functionals for nonlinear equations with a concentrated variable delay.
