Boundary value problems and control problems for linear difference systems with aftereffect (Q1901903)

The author's intension is to present discrete analogs of certain results from the theory of boundary value problems for functional-differential equations and control systems with delays. First he considers linear systems \({\mathcal L} x = f\) with \(({\mathcal L} x) (t) = x(t + 1) - \sum^t_{i = 0} A(t,i) x(i)\) as well as quasilinear systems \({\mathcal L} x = Fx\) where \(F\) is some nonlinear operator, together with boundary conditions \(lx = \alpha\) where \(l\) is a linear vector functional, and obtains sufficient conditions for existence of a solution. After that he considers nonlinear control systems of the type \({\mathcal L} x = Gu + F(x,u)\) and presents sufficient conditions for complete controllability.
