Abstract:

We consider the asymptotic stability in a system of functional differential equations $x’(t) = F(t,{x_t})$ by Liapunov functionals $V$. The work generalizes some well-known results in the literature in that we only require the derivative of $V$ to be negative definite on a sequence of intervals ${I_n} = [{S_n},{t_n}]$. We also show that it is not necessary to require a uniform upper bound on $V$ for nonuniform asymptotic stability.
