The stability of RDDE\ddot x(t) + p_1 (t)\dot x(t) + q_1 (t)x(t) + p_2 (t)\dot x(t - r(t)) + q_2 (t)x(t - r(t)) = O

In this paper, the author considered the stability of zero solution of linear RDDE $$\begin{gathered} \ddot x(t) + p_1 (t)\dot x(t) + q_1 (t)x(t) + p_2 (t)\dot x(t - r(t)) + q_2 (t)x(t - r(t)) = O, \hfill \\ \ddot x(t) + p_1 (t)\dot x(t) + q_1 (t)x(t) + p_2 (t)\dot x(t - r(t)) = O \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ using Liapunov-Razumikhin functional and transformations and obtained some sufficient conditions for the stability of Eqs.(1) and (2). These results are suitable both for boundedp _i (t),q _i (t) andr(t).i=1,2.
