Renewal theorems for a system of integral equations (Q4257066)

Let \(u = (u_{ij})^m_{i,j=1}\) be a matrix-valued function satisfying the condition of conservativeness \(0 \leq u_{ij}\in L_1(0;+ \infty)\), and let the matrix \(A := \int^{\infty}_0 u(x)dx\) be irreducible, with spectral radius 1. For an unknown vector-valued function \(\varphi\) the following equation is considered: \[ \varphi(x) = \int^x_0 u(x-t)\varphi(t)dt + g(x) \] where \(g\) is a given vector-function. For a bounded \(g\) with \(g(+\infty) = 0\), the existence of \(\varphi(+\infty)\) is proved, and \(\varphi(+\infty)\) is evaluated. It is determined, for \(g\in L_1\), that \(\varphi(x) = \mu + \rho_0(x) + \psi(x)\) where \(\rho_0\in C^m_0\) and \(\psi\in L_1\). An analogous formula for the resolvent matrix-valued function is obtained.
