On exponential stability of linear non-autonomous functional differential equations of neutral type

© 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. General linear non-autonomous functional differential equations of neutral type are considered. A novel approach to exponential stability of neutral functional differential equations is presented. Consequently, explicit criteria are derived for exponential stability of linear non-autonomous functional differential equations of neutral type. A brief discussion to the obtained results and illustrative examples are given
