Boundedness and global exponential stability for delayed differential equations with applications

The boundedness of solutions for a class of n-dimensional differential equations with distributed delays is established by assuming the existence of instantaneous negative feedbacks which dominate the delay effect. As an important by-product, some criteria for global exponential stability of equilib...

Description
Summary:The boundedness of solutions for a class of n-dimensional differential equations with distributed delays is established by assuming the existence of instantaneous negative feedbacks which dominate the delay effect. As an important by-product, some criteria for global exponential stability of equilibria are obtained. The results are illustrated with applications to delayed neural networks and population dynamics models.
