Stability of Volterra system with impulsive effect (Q2644900)

The authors study the Volterra integrodifferential equation \(x'(t)=A(t)x(t)+\int^{t}_{t_ 0}k(t,s)x(s)ds,\quad t\neq \tau_ k(x),\quad k=1,2,...,\Delta x_{| t=\tau_ k(x)}=I_ k(x),\quad x(t_ 0)=x_ 0,\) with impulsive effects and give sufficient conditions for the uniform stability and uniform asymptotic stability of the zero solution. The assumptions that are made are fairly complicated and the proof is based on the use of a suitable Lyapunov function.
