Stability of delay differential equations with oscillating coefficients

We study the solutions to the delay differential equation equation $$ dot x(t)=-a(t)x(t-h), $$ where the coefficient $a(t)$ is not necessarily positive. It is proved that this equation is exponentially stable provided that $a(t)=b+c(t)$ for some positive constant b less than $pi/(2h)$, and th...

description We study the solutions to the delay differential equation equation $$ dot x(t)=-a(t)x(t-h), $$ where the coefficient $a(t)$ is not necessarily positive. It is proved that this equation is exponentially stable provided that $a(t)=b+c(t)$ for some positive constant b less than $pi/(2h)$, and the integral $int_0^t c(s)ds$ is sufficiently small for all $t>0$. In this case the 3/2-stability theorem is improved.
