Abstract

In this paper, we study the asymptotic stability of the zero solution of third-order linear delay differential equations of the form y'''(t) = p1y''(t) + p2y''(t-τ) + q1y'(t) + q2y'(t-τ) + v1y(t) + v2y(t-τ), where p1, p1, q1, q2, v1 and v2 are certain constants. Here τ 0 is a constant delay. In proving our results we make use of Pontryagin's theory for quasi-polynomials.
