Behavior of solutions of nonlinear functional Volterra integro-differential equations with multiple delays (Q2825625)

The paper deals with the following nonlinear functional Volterra integro-differential equation with multiple delays NEWLINE\[NEWLINE x'(t) = -a(t)x(t) + \sum_{i=1}^n\int_{t-\tau_i}^t b_i(t,\,s)f_i(x(s))\,ds, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE with \(a,\, b_i\) and \(f_i\) continuous real functions. By employing appropriate Lyapunov functionals, the authors provide sufficient conditions for the solutions of this equation to be bounded and to belong to \(L^1([0,\infty))\) and \(L^2([0,\infty))\). Also, some sufficient conditions are provided for the stability and global asymptotic stability of the zero solution.
