Dissipativity and asymptotic stability of nonlinear neutral delay integro-differential equations Original Research Article

This paper is concerned with the dissipativity and asymptotic stability of the theoretical solutions of a class of nonlinear neutral delay integro-differential equations (NDIDEs). We first give a generalization of the Halanay inequality which plays an important role in the study of dissipativity and stability of differential equations. Then, we apply the generalization of the Halanay inequality to NDIDEs and the dissipativity and the asymptotic stability results of the theoretical solution of NDIDEs are obtained. From a numerical point of view, it is important to study the potential of numerical methods in preserving the qualitative behavior of the analytical solutions. Therefore, the results, presented in this paper, provide the theoretical foundation for analyzing the dissipativity and the asymptotic stability of the numerical methods when they are applied to these systems.
