Integro-differential equations and delay integral inequalities (Q1204163)

Sufficient conditions for the boundedness, asymptotic properties, and exponential decay are first obtained for solutions of linear system of integral inequalities with infinite delay. Then nonlinear integro- differential equations are reduced to delay integral inequalities by the variation of parameter formula, and some new criteria are given for asymptotic stability, uniformly asymptotic stability and exponential asymptotic stability. The results obtained here are illustrated by examples which have been particularly difficult to treat by means of the Lyapunov theory.
