Review text

The author obtains sufficient conditions for the absence of eventually positive solutions to the differential inequality with one continuously retarded argument \[ x'(t) \leq - M(t) x(\tau(t)). \tag{1} \] The main result is that if \(x\) is a solution to (1) in the interval \(J=[t_0,\infty)\), \(\tau: J \mapsto \mathbb{R}\) is a continuous function, \(\tau(t) < t\), \(\lim\limits_{t \to \infty} \tau(t) = \infty\), \(M(t) \geq H(t) \geq 0\), \(t \in J\) and \[ \int_{\tau(t)}^t H(\sigma) d\sigma \geq {\frac 1e} + \int_{\tau(t)}^t \chi(\sigma) d\sigma; \quad \int_{t_0}^\infty \chi(\sigma) d\sigma = \infty, \quad \chi \in \text{Piag} [t_0,\infty), \] then \(x\) is not necessarily positive.
