“…Time-delay systems are very common in nature like, for instance, related to transportation problems, population growing, signal transmission, or neural network-based models (Niculescu, 2001;Brierley et al, 1982;Bourles, 1987;De la Sen, 1994Luo and van den Bosch, 1997;Chen, 1995;Gu, 1977;Xu, 1997Xu, , 2000De la Sen and Luo, 2003;Arik, 2003). The stability and stabilization of such systems has been widely studied in the literature in connection, for instance, with Lyapunov theory or frequency domain methods (see, for instance, Niculescu, 2001;Brierley et al, 1982;Bourles, 1987;De la Sen, 1994Luo and van den Bosch, 1997;Chen, 1995;Gu, 1977;Xu, 1997Xu, , 2000De la Sen and Luo, 2003 and references therein).…”
