A stability theorem with a necessary and sufficient condition is given. The results obtained here extend and improve the work of C. H. Jin and J. W. Luo [Nonlinear Anal. 68 (2008), 3307-3315], and also those of T. A. Burton [Fixed Point Theory 4 (2003), 15-32; Dynam. Systems Appl. 11 (2002), 499-519] and B. Zhang [Nonlinear Anal. 63 (2005), e233-e242]. In the end we provide an example to illustrate our claim.", keywords = "fixed points, stability, nonlinear neutral differential equation, integral equation, variable delays", issn = "1232-9274" }
