On \(\phi_{0}\)-stability of difference equations (Q2484589)

The authors investigate the comparison difference system \[ x(k+1)=f(k,x(k)),\quad x(k_0)=x_0, \] where \(x\in {\mathbb R}^{\mathbb N}\), \(f\) is a continuous function from \({\mathbb N}_+\times{\mathbb R}^{\mathbb N}\) into \({\mathbb R}^{\mathbb N}\) with \(f(t,0) = 0\), and \({\mathbb N}_+\) is the set of nonnegative integers. They discuss various notions of \(\phi_0\)-stability such as uniform \(\phi_0\)-stability and uniform asymptotical \(\phi_0\)-stability for a very general system of difference equations via the method of cone-valued Lyapunov functions and the comparison principle.
