Stability properties and integrability of the resolvent of linear Volterra equations (Q1897781)

Integrability of the resolvent and the stability properties of the zero solution of linear Volterra integrodifferential equations are studied. In particular, it is shown that the zero solution is uniformly stable if and only if the resolvent is integrable in some sense. It is also shown that the zero solution is uniformly asymptotically stable if and only if the resolvent is integrable and an additional condition in terms of the resolvent and the kernel is satisfied. Finally, the integrability of the resolvent is obtained under an explicit condition.
