Abstract

We obtain new explicit exponential stability conditions for linear scalar equations with positive and negative delayed terms

\overset{x}{˙} (t) + k = 1 \sum m a_{k} (t) x (h_{k} (t)) - k = 1 \sum l b_{k} (t) x (g_{k} (t)) = 0

and its modifications, and apply them to investigate local stability of Mackey–Glass type models

\overset{x}{˙} (t) = r (t) [β \frac{x ( g ( t ))}{1 + x ^{n} ( g ( t ))} - γ x (h (t))]

and

\overset{x}{˙} (t) = r (t) [β \frac{x ( g ( t ))}{1 + x ^{n} ( h ( t ))} - γ x (t)],
