On the exponential dichotomy and spectral properties of difference operators related to the Howland semigroup (Q1760470)

This paper studies properties of the linear difference operator \[ ({\mathcal D}x)(t):=x(t)-B(t)\,x(t-h), \quad t\in{\mathbb R}, \quad h\neq0, \] with \(B(t)\) being a given bounded linear operator in the spaces of continuous and bounded functions on \({\mathbb R}\), uniformly continuous functions on \({\mathbb R}\), or continuous functions on \({\mathbb R}\) with \(\lim_{|t|\to\infty}\|x(t)\|=0\). The main result describes conditions which guarantee that the inverse operator \({\mathcal D}^{-1}\) exists and is continuous. A~formula for \({\mathcal D}^{-1}\) in terms of an infinite series is also provided.
