Razumikhin-type theorems on exponential stability of impulsive infinite delay differential systems (Q2519688)

The authors consider the impulsive FDE of the form \[ \begin{split} x'(t)&=f(t,x(\cdot)),\;\;t\neq t_k,\\ \left.\Delta\right|_{t=t_k}&=x(t_k)-x(t_k^-)=I_k(t_k,x(t_k^-)), \;\;k=1,2,\ldots, \end{split} \] \(0\leq t_0<t_1<\cdots\), \(x'\) denotes the right-hand derivative, \(f\) is a continuous functional defined in the appropriate space, \(f(t,0)=I_k(t_k,0)=0\). It is supposed that the IVP has a unique solution \(x(t,\sigma,\phi)\) which can be continued to \(\infty\). The initial function \(\phi\) is piecewise continuous. The zero solution is said to be weak exponentially stable if for any \(\varepsilon>0\) and \(\sigma\geq t_0\) \(\exists\delta>0\) such that \(\|\phi\|<\delta\) implies \(\alpha(\|x(t,\sigma,\phi)\|)<\varepsilon e^{-\lambda(t-\sigma)}\) for \(t\geq\sigma\) and some \(\lambda>0\) and a strictly increasing \(\alpha: \mathbb{R}_+\to \mathbb{R}_+\). If \(\alpha(s)=s\) we obtain the exponential stability. Two theorems on the weak exponential stability are proved. The paper ends with two illustrative examples. There are many misprints.
