Asymptotic behavior of solutions to mixed type differential equations

This work concerns the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the differential equation $$ \dot{x}(t)+\sum_{i=1}^{m}a_i(t)x(r_i(t))+\sum_{j=1}^{n}b_j(t)x(\tau_j(t))=0, $$ where $a_j(t)$ and $b_j(t)$ are real-valued continuous functions and $r_j(t)$ and $\tau_j(t)$ are non-negative functions su...

Description
Summary:This work concerns the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the differential equation $$ \dot{x}(t)+\sum_{i=1}^{m}a_i(t)x(r_i(t))+\sum_{j=1}^{n}b_j(t)x(\tau_j(t))=0, $$ where $a_j(t)$ and $b_j(t)$ are real-valued continuous functions and $r_j(t)$ and $\tau_j(t)$ are non-negative functions such that $$\displaylines{ r_i(t)\leq t,\; t\geq t_0,\quad\lim_{t\to \infty}r_i(t)=\infty,\; i=1,\dots,m;\cr \tau_j(t)\geq t,\; t\geq t_0,\quad\lim_{t\to \infty}\tau_j(t)=\infty,\; j=1, \dots,n. }$$
