“…For the last few years, there has been a renewed interest in the analysis of stability of nonautonomous linear DDEs, and several methods and tools have been proposed, see e.g. [2,4,5,14,15,17,18,21,28,29] and references therein. The main goal of this paper is to obtain new explicit sufficient conditions for the asymptotic and exponential asymptotic stability of a general linear system (1.1), which improve and generalize some criteria in recent literature.…”
