New necessary and sufficient conditions for degeneracy of neutral-type differential-difference equations (Q794189): Difference between revisions

The paper deals with the equation \((d/dt)[x(t)-\sum^{m}_{i=1}C_ i\cdot x(t-ih)]=\sum^{m}_{j=0}B_ j\cdot x(t-jh)\) for \(t\geq 0\), where \(h>0\), \(C_ i\) and \(B_ j\) are constant \(n\times n\) matrices, with a continuous initial function \(\Phi\) defined on [-mh,0]. Necessary and sufficient conditions for all solutions x(t,\(\phi)\) of the considered initial value problems to lie in the subspace \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\) orthogonal to q \((q\in {\mathbb{R}}^ n\), \(q\neq 0)\) for all t sufficiently large are given.
