Abstract. In this article stability and asymptotic properties of a real two-dimensional system x'(t) = A(t)x(t)+ Bj(t)x(t -r,) + h(t,x(t),x(t -ri),... ,x(t -r")) are studied, where r\ > 0, ...,rn > 0 are constant delays, A, Bi,...,B" are the matrix functions and h is the vector function. Generalization of results on stability of a twodimensional differential system with one constant delay is obtained using the methods of complexification and Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and some new corollaries and an example are presented.
IntroductionThe investigation of the problem is based on the combination of the method of complexification and the method of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, which is to a great extent effective for two-dimensional systems. This combination was successfully used in [2] for two-dimensional system of ODE's and in [1] for system with one constant delay and led to interesting results.This article is related to paper [3] where asymptotic properties of system with finite number of constant delays were studied. The aim is, under some special conditions, to improve the results presented in [3] and to illustrate the advancement with an example.The subject of our study is the real two-dimensional systemwhere A(t) = (aik(t)), Bj(t) = (bjik(t)) (i,k = 1,2) for j G {l,...,n} are real square matrices and 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 34K20, 34K25, 34K12.
