Asymptotic expansion of the solution of a matrix differential-difference equation of the general form (Q285011)

Consider a matrix differential-difference equation \[ \int_0^{_\infty}\mathbf{M}(du)\mathbf{X}'(t-u)+ \int_0^{+\infty}\mathbf{N}(du)\mathbf{X}(t-u)=\mathbf{F}(t) \] of neutral or retarded type. Let the set \(Z\) of the roots of the characteristic equation in the half-plane \(\Pi(\gamma)=\{z\in\mathbb{C}|\mathrm{Re }z\leq\gamma\}\) be finite for some \(\gamma\). Under some momentum conditions on the measures \(\mathbf{M}\), \(\mathbf{N}\), on the function \(\mathbf{F}\) and on the initial data it is proved that the solution of the the matrix differential-difference equation admits the asymptotic expansion \[ \mathbf{X}(t)=\sum_{j=1}^l\sum_{k=1}^{m_j}b_{jk} \frac{t^{k-1}\exp(-s_jt)}{(k-1)!}+\mathbf{r}(t), \] where \(Z=\{s_1,\ldots,s_l\}\) are characteristic roots in \(\Pi(\gamma)\) with multiplicities \(m_1,\ldots,m_l\) and \(\mathbf{r}(t)\) ``inherits'' the asymptotic behavior of \(\mathbf{F}(t)\).
