Abstract:Background. The work is devoted to the analysis of stability in the sense of Lyapunov of steady-state solutions of systems of linear differential equations with time-dependent coefficients and with time-dependent delays and a differentiated function on the left side of the equation. The cases of continuous and pulsed perturbations are considered. Materials and methods. The stability study is based on the application of the method of “freezing” of time-dependent coefficients and the subsequent analysis of the stability of the solution of the system in the vicinity of the “freezing” point. In the analysis of systems of differential equations thus transformed, the properties of logarithmic norms are used. Results. An algorithm is proposed that allows one to obtain sufficient criteria for the stability of solutions of finite systems of linear differential equations with coefficients and delays that depend on time and on a differentiable function on the left side of the equation. Sufficient conditions are obtained in the Euclidean metric. Algorithms are effective both in the case of continuous and in the case of impulsive perturbations. Conclusions. The proposed method can be used in the study of nonstationary dynamic systems described by systems of ordinary linear differential equations with delays that depend on time and on a differentiable function on the left side of the equation.
