Partial Variable Stability for a Class of Nonlinear Systems with Time Delay ()
1. Introduction
In 1892, Lyapunov, a Russian mathematician, mechanician and physicist, proposed the notion of the stability of motion. He gave the general research methods in his doctoral dissertation “The general problem of the stability of motion” [1], in which he established the foundation of the stability theory. When studying nonlinear systems, especially studying dynamic systems or control systems, we cannot study the stability of all variables because of the technology difficulties, the limitation of practical conditions, or it is not necessary to study all variables considering the actual need. As a result, studying the partial stability of differential equations becomes more important. In addition, the partial stability is widely used in science and technology. For instance the absolute stability of famous Lurie adjusting systems can be changed into a problem of partial stability. In a word, it is of practical significance to study the partial stability of differential equations.
Since Bellman created a class of integral inequalities in 1958, integral inequalities have been greatly developed. The main results are:
In 1960, Li Yuesheng gave the following inequality in [2]:
In 2005, Sligeng discussed the following inequality in [3]:
In 2009, the author discussed a new class of inequalities in [4].
Vorotnikov, V.I. [5] [6] considered the following system
and studied the double stability as
and
.
In 2002, Wang Feng used the differential inequality of delay in article [7] to study the following delay system:
In 2006, Siligeng used the integral inequality extended in [3] in [8] to discuss the double stability of the following system to some variables:
In this paper the author consider a new class of the nonlinearly perturbed differential systems with time-delay
It is obvious that the above system is a generalization of the systems in [5] [6] [7] [8].
The aim of this paper is to investigate the double stability of neutural differential equations, including Uniform stability and Uniform Lipschitz stability. The author uses the method of differential inequalities with time-delay and integral inequalities to establish double stability criteria.

with respect to y.
Note: The differential system discussed in this paper is the time-differential form of the ordinary differential system in [5] [6]. The time-differential system in [7] is generalized to a neutral system, and the Lipschitz stability in [8] is further extended to equi-exponential Lipschitz asymptotic stability and uniform exponential Lipschitz asymptotic stability and added global results
4. Conclusion
