Asymptotic stability and exponential stability for a class of impulsive neutral differential equations with discrete and distributed delays

Abstract: In this paper, we present sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability and exponential stability of a class of impulsive neutral differential equations with discrete and distributed delays. Our approaches are based on the method using fixed point theory, which do not resort to any Lyapunov functions or Lyapunov functionals. Our conditions do not require the differentiability of delays, nor do they ask for a fixed sign on the coefficient functions. Our results improve some previous ones in the literature. Examples are given to illustrate our main results.
