Stability of Neutral Functional Differential Equations [Hardcover]

In this monograph the author presents explicit conditions for the exponential, absolute and input-to-state stabilities including solution estimates of certain types of functional differential equations.

The main methodology used is based on a combination of recent norm estimates for matrix-valued functions, comprising the generalized Bohl-Perron principle, together with its integral version and the positivity of fundamental solutions.

Preliminaries.- Eigenvalues and Functions of Matrices.- Difference Equations with Continuous Time.- Linear Differential Delay Equations.- Linear Autonomous NDEs.- Linear Time-variant NDEs.- Nonlinear Vector NDEs.- Absolute Stability of Scalar NDEs.- Bounds for Characteristic Values of NDEs.

In this monograph the author presents explicit conditions for the exponential, absolute? and? input-to-state stabilities -- including solution estimates -- of certain types of functional differential equations.
