β¦ Synopsis
A strategy is presented for determining if the growth of solutions to a non-autonomous linear differential equation satisfies a given bound. In the case where the given bound is negative, the approach gives a constructive method for finding a Lyapunov function and showing that the system is stable. The strategy takes advantage of the sign pattern of the coefficient matrix and is demonstrated with an example.

We consider preservation of exponential stability for a system of linear equations with a distributed delay under the addition of new terms and a delay perturbation. As particular cases, the system includes models with concentrated delays and systems of integrodifferential equations. Our method is b
