On the asymptotic stability and ultimate boundedness of solutions of a class of nonlinear systems with delay (Q6112918)

The author considers the system \[ \begin{aligned} \dot x(t)=Ax(t)+g_1(y(t))+g_2(y(t-\tau)), \\ \dot y(t)=Cx(t)+f_1(y(t))+f_2(y(t-\tau)). \end{aligned}\tag{1} \] Here \(t\geq 0\), \(x(t)\in\mathbb{R}^n\), \(y(t)\in\mathbb{R}^m\), \(A\) and \(C\) are constant matrices of dimensions \(n\times n\) and \(m\times n\), respectively, \(f_1(y)\), \(f_2(y)\), \(g_1(y)\), and \(g_2(y)\) are vector functions of the corresponding dimensions that are continuous for \(y\in \mathbb{R}^m\) and homogeneous of order \(\mu > 0\), and \(\tau\) is a constant nonnegative delay. System (1) has the zero solution. The author studies conditions under which this solution is asymptotically stable for any nonnegative delay.
