Let \(X_\omega\) be the space of all infinite sequences \((x_n)\) with terms in a linear space over a field \({\mathcal F}\) of scalars with the coordinatewise addition and multiplication by scalars. Let \(A=(A_n)\) be a sequence of linear operators belonging to \(L(X)\) and defined on \(X\). Operators \(D_A\in L(X_\omega)\) defined as: \(D_A(x_n)= (x_{n+1}- A_nx_n)\) are considered. These operators are right invertible in \(X_\omega\). It should be mentioned that a full characterization of Volterra right inverses (i.e. right inverses whose values are only regular) to the operator \(D_A\) in the case, when \(A_j= p_jI\), \(p_j\in{\mathcal F}\) \((j\in\mathbb{N})\), has been obtained in the reviewer's paper [Math. Nachr. 149, 193-147 (1990; Zbl 0722.47003)] (non-cited here). Generalizing this paper, the authors give necessary and sufficient conditions for some classes of right inverses of \(D_A\) to be Volterra operators. This leads to a conditions on solvability of an initial value problem. The statement that \(\dim\ker D_A=\dim X\) seems to be not correct, since for \(A_j= pI\), \(p\in{\mathcal F}\) \((j\in \mathbb{N})\) we have \(\dim\ker D=1\). Fortunately, that fact has no influence on further results. There is no distinction between the real and the complex case which are essentially different even in the case of scalar operators.
