Linearized stability analysis of discrete Volterra equations (Q596719): Difference between revisions

Using the fundamental and resolvent matrices, the authors study the stability, the asymptotic stability and the uniform asymptotic stability for the linear discrete Volterra equation \[ x(n)= f(n)= \sum^n_{j=0} B(n,j)x(j),\quad n\geq 0,\tag{1} \] where \(B:\mathbb{Z}^+\times \mathbb{Z}^+\to \mathbb{E}^{d\times d}\) is the kernel (\(B(n,j)= 0\), \(j>n\)) and \(f: \mathbb{Z}^+\to \mathbb{E}^d\) is a given mapping. They also consider discrete Volterra equations of the form \[ x(n)= f(n)+ \sum^n_{j=0} K(n,j,x(n)),\quad (n\geq 0), \] and, under appropriate assumptions which are not discussed in the present paper, they affirm that ``it is possible to relate the stability of solutions'' of such kind of equations to the stability for equation (1).
