This paper considers the asymptotic stability analysis of both exact and numerical solutions of the following neutral delay differential equation with pantograph delay.

where $B,C,D\in C^{d\times d},q\in (0,1)$,and $B$ is regular. After transforming the above equation to non-automatic neutral equation with constant delay, we determine sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the zero solution. Furthermore, we focus on the asymptotic stability behavior of Runge-Kutta method with variable stepsize. It is proved that a L-stable Runge-Kutta method can preserve the above-mentioned stability properties.
