Key words Delayed differential system, asymptotic behaviour, stability, boundedness of solutions MSC (2000) Primary: 34K12; Secondary: 34K20The asymptotic behaviour and stability properties are studied for a real two-dimensional systemand h are matrix functions and a vector function, respectively. The method of investigation is based on the transformation of the considered real system to one equation with complex-valued coefficients. Stability and asymptotic properties of this equation are studied by means of a suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. The results generalize the great part of the results of J. Kalas and L. Baráková [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 269, No. 1, 278-300 (2002)] for two-dimensional systems with a constant delay.
