Estimate of total stability of delay difference systems (Q1963019)

The paper deals with a delay difference equation of the form \[ x(n+1) = A_0 x(n) + A_1 x(n - \tau (n)), \tag{1} \] and corresponding perturbed systems \[ y(n+1) = A_0 y(n) + A_1 y(n - \tau (n)) + G(n, y_n), \tag{2} \] where \(n \in\mathbb{Z}^+, x, y \in\mathbb{R}^k, A_0, A_1\) are \(k \times k\) matrices, \(0 \leq \tau(n) \leq r\) for some positive integer \(r,\) \(G:\mathbb{Z}^+ \times C \to\mathbb{R}^k, C = \{ \phi: \{ -r, -r+1,\dots, 0 \} \to\mathbb{R}^k \}, G(n, 0) = 0,\) and \(y_n (s) = y(n+s)\) for \(s = -r, -r+1,\dots, 0.\) The author gives conditions for the so-called total stability and the total asymptotic stability of the zero solution of (1), i.e., stability and asymptotic stability of the zero solution of (2) for small \(G(n, y_n).\) Estimates of stability and asymptotic stability regions are obtained.
