AN ASYMPTOTIC STABILITY THEOREM FOR QUASILINEAR DELAY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH OSCILLATING COEFFICIENTS

Abstract

In this paper, we provide new necessary and sufficient conditions of the asymptotic stability for a class of quasilinear differential equations with several delays and oscillating coefficients. Our results are established by means of fixed point theory and improve those obtained in [J. R. Graef, C. Qian and B. Zhang, Asymptotic behavior of solutions of differential equations with variable delays, Proc. London Math. Soc.81 (2000) 72–92; B. Zhang, Fixed points and stability in differential equations with variable delays, Nonlinear Anal.63 (2005) e233–e242].
