If a time-delay system \[ \dot x(t)= A(t,x(t),x(t-\tau(t))) x(t)+ B(t,x(t),x(t-\tau(t)) x(t- \tau(t)))\tag{1} \] and a vector norm \(p\) are given, then an overvaluing system of (1) with respect to \(p\) and to the given region \(D\) is introduced with the property if the inequality \(z(t)\geq p(x(t))\) between the solutions \(x\) of (1) and \(z\) of \[ \dot z(t)= M(t,x(t),x(t-\tau(t)))z(t)+ N(t,x(t),x(t-\tau(t))) z(t- \tau(t))\tag{2} \] holds on the initial set, then it holds as long as \(x(t)\) remains in \(D\). Then sufficient conditions are given for the zero solution of (1) to be stable or asymptotically stable.
