Extract

The purpose of this article is to derive a set of ‘easily verifiable’ sufficient conditions for the local asymptotic stability of the trivial solution of

and then examine the ‘size’ of the domain of attraction of the trivial solution of the nonlinear system (1·1) with a countable number of discrete delays.
