Abstract
Consider the perturbed nonautonomous linear delay differential equation x(t) = - a(t)x(t-τ) + F(t, x1, t ⩾ 0 where x1(s)=x(t+s) for −δ≤s≤0. Suppose that a(t) ∈ C([0,∞), (0,∞)), τ≥0,F:[0, ∞) x C[−δ,0] → R is a continuous functions and F(t,0) ≡ 0. Here C[−δ,0] is the space of continuous functions Φ: [−δ,0] → R with ∥Φ∥<H for the norm | Φ |, where |·| is any norm in R and 0<H≤+∞.
Most of the known papers [1–5,7] have been concerned with the local or global asymptotic behavior of the zero solution of Eq. (*) when a(t) is independent of t i. e., a(t) is autonomous. The aim in this paper is to derive the sufficient conditions for the global attractivity of the zero solution of of Eq. (*) When a(t) is nonautomous. Our results, which extend and improve the known results, are even “sharp”. At the same time, the method used in this paper can be applicable to the perturbed nonlinear equation.
