This paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for global stability of certain logistic delay differential equations for all values of the delay. Biological models frequently lead to delay differential equations and to questions concerning the stability of equilibrium solutions of such models. The monographs by Cushing (6) and MacDonald (16) discuss a number of examples of such models from population dynamics, ecology, and physiology. Much of the work with such models has focused on delay equations which are reducible, through a change of variables, to systems of differential equations without delays (3,4,8,14,18,19). Another line of research is concerned with conditions under which linear retarded functional differential equations of the form L x(t) = ax(t) + £ btx(t - r,), r, > 0, /=i are asymptotically stable for all values of the delay (1,3,5,7,9,11,12,14). We propose to combine these lines of research and examine global stability of the widely used logistic model of population dynamics,
