Exponential stability of equilibria of differential equations with time-dependent delay and non-Lipschitz nonlinearity (Q708519)

The authors discuss exponential stability of equilibria of differential equations of the form \[ \frac{du(t)}{dt}=F(u(t))+G(u(t-\tau(t))),\quad t\geq t_0, \] \[ u(t)=\phi(t),\quad t\in[t_0-b,t_0]. \] where \(t_0\geq 0\) and \(b>0\) are constants, \(F\) and \(G\) are nonlinear partially Lipschitz continuous operators from an open subset \(\Omega\) of \(R^n\), \(u(t)\in\Omega\) for \(t\geq t_0\), the delay function \(\tau(t)\) satisfies \(0\leq\tau(t)\leq b\) for \(t\geq t_0\), and \(\phi(\cdot)\in C([t_0-b, t_0],\Omega)\) is an initial function. Some examples illustrate that the obtained results are improvement and extension of some existing ones.
