Our paper deals with the following nonlinear neutral differential equation with variable delay $$\frac{d}{dt}D{u}_t\left(t\right)=p\left(t\right)-a\left(t\right)u\left(t\right)-a\left(t\right)g\left(u(t-\tau \left(t\right))\right)-h(u\left(t\right),u(t-\tau \left(t\right))).$$ By using Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem we obtain the existence of periodic solution and by contraction mapping principle we obtain the uniqueness. A sufficient condition is established for the positivity of the above equation. Stability results of this equation are analyzed. Our results extend and complement some results obtained in the work [Yuan, Y., Guo, Z.: On the existence and stability of...

In this paper, we use a modification of Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem introduced by Burton (see [Burton, T. A.: Liapunov functionals, fixed points and stability by Krasnoseskii’s theorem. Nonlinear Stud., 9 (2002), 181–190.] Theorem 3) to obtain stability results of the zero solution of the totally nonlinear neutral differential equation with variable delay $$x^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)=-a\left(t\right)h\left(x\left(t\right)\right)+\frac{d}{dt}Q\left(t,x\left(t-\tau \left(t\right)\right)\right)+G\left(t,x\left(t\right),x\left(t-\tau \left(t\right)\right)\right).$$ The stability of the zero solution of this eqution provided that $h\left(0\right)=Q\left(t,0\right)=G\left(t,0,0\right)=0$. The Caratheodory condition is used for the functions $Q$ and $G$.
