Abstract :
This paper gives sufficient stability conditions for nonlinear, time-varying, differential equations of neutral type. Considering particular vector Lyapunov functions (VLF), it proposes a systematic way of computing comparison systems which are of the retarded type. In the linear time-invariant case, very simple stability conditions are deduced.
