Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the instability of solutions to a certain class of nonlinear vector functional differential equations of the eighth order with n-deviating arguments. We employ the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach and base on the Krasovskii criteria to prove two new theorems on the topic. Our results improve certain results in the literature from scalar functional differential equations to their vectorial forms.
