In this paper, using Sadovskii’s fixed point theorem and properties of the measure of noncompactness, we obtain asymptotic stability results for solu-tions of nonlinear differential equation with variable delay. Results presented
in this paper extend some previous results due to Burton [1], Becker and
Burton [2], Ardjouni and Djoudi [3], and Jin and Luo [4].

1. Introduction
Since 1892, the Lyapunov’s direct method has been used for the study of stability properties of ordinary, functional, differential and partial differential equations. Nevertheless, the applications of this method to problem of stability in differential equations with delay have encountered serious difficulties if the delay
is unbounded or if the equation has unbounded terms (see [1][5][6]). Recently,
investigators, such as Burton and Furumochi have noticed that some of these difficulties vanish or might be overcome by means of fixed point theory (see [1]-[17]). The fixed point theory does not only solve the problem on stability but has a significant advantage over Lyapunov’s direct method. Sadovskii’s fixed
point theorem (see [18]) and techniques of the theory of the measure of
noncompactness are used to prove the existence and stability of the solution of the problem investigated in this paper.
Let E denote a Banach space. We consider the nonlinear differential equation
with variable delay

We mentioned here that the neutral delay differential equations appear in modelling of the networks containing lossless transmission lines (as in high-speed computers where the lossless transmission lines are used to interconnect switching circuits), in the study of vibrating masses attached to an elastic bar, as the Euler equation in some variational problems, theory of automatic control and in neuromechanical systems in which inertia plays an
important role, we refer the reader to the papers by Boe and Chang [19], Brayton
and Willoughby [20] and to the books by Driver [21], Hale [14] and Popov [22]
and reference cited therein.

E suchthat x satisfies (1) on

and x=ψ
on m( )

and sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of the zero solution of the Equation (1). By using some conditions expressed in terms of the measure of
noncompactness which G satisfies, we define a continuous, bounded operator

point theorem of Sadovskii is used to prove the existence of a fixed point of the
operator Pφ. To construct our mapping, we begin transforming (1) to a more
tractable, but equivalent equation, which we invert to obtain an equivalent integral equation for which we derive a fixed point mapping. We need the following lemma in our proof of the main theorem.

When we investigate the existence of solutions of (1) with non-continuous right-hand side, it is natural to consider the so-called Carathéodory-type solutions.
