First order linear time invariant dynamics is taken into account with two delays. A unique feature is included in this study, from the stability perspective: a term that represents the cross-talk between the two delays. This class of systems can be treated by a unique procedure, which is recently developed, known as Cluster Treatment of Characteristic Roots (CTCR). In the text we present several case studies to display the steps and the strengths of CTCR. We also include some comparison results with respect to a cornerstone study (Hale, and Huang, 1993), which gives a wonderful point of reference for this …

The stability robustness of first order linear time invariant dynamics of neutral type with multiple time delays against delay uncertainties is taken into consideration. We depart from a simpler investigation of Hale and Huang [J. Math. Anal. Appl., 178 (1993), pp. 344–362], which studies the same problem for retarded‐type systems. On this basis we further introduce two challenging features by including (a) terms that add neutral dynamics and (b) an additional term that introduces cross‐talk between the multiple delays. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the stability posture of this class of systems can be treated only by a …
