The authors consider the following nonautonomous nonlinear delay differential equation \[ \frac{d y(t)}{dt}=-a(t)y(t)-\sum\limits_{i=0}^{m}a_i(t)g_i(y(\tau_i(t))), \quad\text{for }t\geq t_0, \] \[ y(t)=\phi(t)\quad\text{for } t\leq t_0, \] where they assume that there is a strictly monotone increasing function \(f(x)\) on \((-\infty, +\infty)\) such that \[ f(0)=0, \;0<\frac{g_i(x)}{f(x)}\leq 1,\;x\neq 0, 0\leq i\leq m, \] \[ \text{if }\;f(x)\not\equiv x, { \text{ then}} \lim\limits_{x\rightarrow -\infty}f(x) {\text{ or}} \lim\limits_{x\rightarrow +\infty}f(x) { \text{ is finite}}. \] They establish sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the zero solution. In particular, for a special wide class of functions \(f\) which contains the cases \(f(x)\equiv e^x-1\) and \(f(x)\equiv x\), they give more explicit conditions which are some extensions of the \(3/2\)-type criterion. For an application, they also offer new conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the solutions of discrete models of nonautonomous delay differential equations.
