The behavior of solutions of linear Volterra difference equations with infinite delay (Q1767871)

The paper is concerned with the behavior of solutions of linear Volterra difference equations with infinite delay in the form \[ \Delta x_n=ax_n +\sum^n_{j=-\infty } K_{n-j}x_j. \] An exponential estimate for solutions is obtained and a stability criterion is derived via an appropriate positive root of the corresponding characteristic equation. The results obtained are the discrete analogues of some ones on the behavior of solutions of linear integrodifferential equations with unbounded delay.
