Abstract

This paper deals with scalar delay differential equations with dominant delayed terms. Sufficient conditions are obtained for uniform stability, uniformly asymptotic stability and globally asymptotic stability of the equations. The criteria extend and improve some existing ones. The main results are applied to two physiological models. Some counterexamples are also given to show the invalidity of some existing results.
