  In this paper, which is a direct continuation and generalization of the
recent works by the authors [https://doi.org/10.1051/cocv/2019073,
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jde.2021.03.003], we show the validity of the generic
multiplicity-induced-dominancy property for a general class of linear
functional differential equations with a single delay, including the retarded
as well as the neutral cases. The result is based on an appropriate integral
representation of the corresponding characteristic quasipolynomial functions
involving some appropriate degenerate hypergeometric functions.
