Stability in Retarded Functional Equations

Abstract

This article deals with the stability behavior of a scalar linear retarded equation. Useful exponential estimations and stability criteria of the solutions were established. Finally, two examples are given for the stability of the zero solution of the retarded equation.

Keywords

• Characteristic equation
