On stability and boundedness of solutions of a certain fourth-order delay differential equation

Using a Razumikhin - type theorem, we deduce sufficient conditions that guarantee the uniform asymptotic stability and boundedness of solutions of a scalar real fourth-order delay differential equation. The Lyapunov function constructed for an ordinary fourth-order differential equation is seen to w...
