Asymptotic stability of nonlinear systems with unbounded delays

Some asymptotic stability criteria are derived for systems of nonlinear functional differential equations with unbounded delays. The criteria are described as matrix equations or matrix inequalities, which are computationally flexible and efficient. The theories are then applied to the stabilization of time-delay systems via standard feedback control (SFC) or time-delayed feedback control (DFC). Several examples are given to illustrate the results.
