Convergence in asymptotically autonomous functional differential equations

In this paper, we consider linear and nonlinear perturbations of a linear autonomous functional differential equation which has infinitely many equilibria. We give sufficient conditions under which the solutions of the perturbed equation tend to the equilibria of the unperturbed equation at infinity. As a consequence, we obtain sufficient conditions for systems of delay differential equations to have asymptotic equilibrium. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
