The \(L^{p}\)-version of the generalised Bohl-Perron principle for vector equations with delay (Q411307)

The paper deals with the equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\dot y(t)=\int_0^{\eta}d_{\tau}R(t,\tau)y(t-\tau),\,\,\, t>0,\leqno(1)NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\eta\) is a positive constant, \(R(t,\tau)\) is an \(n\times n\)-matrix-valued function defined on \([0,\infty)\times [0,\eta]\), which is piece-wise continuous in \(t\) for each \(\tau\) and right-continuous in \(\tau\), and has the variation in \(\tau\) uniformly bounded on \([0,\infty)\). The author proves the generalizations of the Bohl-Perron principle in \(B(0,\infty)\) - the Banach space of bounded functions defined on \([0,\infty)\) with values in \(\mathbb{C}^n\), and in \(L^p(0,\infty)\), \(p\geq 1\). More precisely, he proves that if the nonhomogeneous Cauchy problem associated to \((1)\) with \(f\in B(0,\infty)\) (\(f\in L^p(0,\infty)\)) has a solution in \(B(0,\infty)\) (\(L^p(0,\infty)\), respectively), then equation \((1)\) is exponentially stable. Sharp stability conditions are derived for vector functional differential equations `close' to autonomous ones and for equations with small delays.
