Some stability conditions for scalar Volterra difference equations (Q2809650)

This article deals with the following scalar linear difference equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINEx(n + 1) = x(n) = -a(n) + \sum_{k=1}^nA(n,k)x(k) + f(n)NEWLINE\]NEWLINE and its continuous analogue NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\dot{x}(t) = -a(t)x(t) + \int_0^t A(t,s)x(s) \, ds + f(t).NEWLINE\]NEWLINE Some natural conditions for \(A(n,k)\) and \(A(t,s)\) are presented that guarantee the boundedness of all solutions and conditions that guarantee the exponential decrease of all solutions for these equations. Some numerical examples are presented.
