We first develop an appropriate Lyapunov functional, and then derive new global asymptotic stability conditions for such a model of systems with the help of this functional. The proposed stability results basically depend on the constraint conditions that are imposed on the components of constant system matrices without involving delay parameters. It is also shown that the obtained stability conditions improve some formerly published corresponding stability conditions for the same model of neutral systems. This work also studies a comparative numerical example to indicate advantage of the results of this paper over the past results and demonstrate the applicability of the derived stability criteria of the algebraic forms. 05 27 2026 05 27 2026 337 26 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en_US 10.37394/23202.2026.25.26 https://wseas.com/journals/systems/2026/a525102-012(2026).pdf A.
