SOLUTION ESTIMATES OF NONLINEAR VECTOR VOLTERRA–STIELTJES EQUATIONS (Q4474586)

Let \(L_{\mu,p}([0,\infty), {\mathbb C}^n),\;p=2,\infty\) be the space of \(\mu\)-measurable functions with standard norm: \(| h| _{\mu,2}=[\int_0^\infty\| h(t)\| ^2\,d\mu(t)]^{1/2}\) and \(| h| _{\mu,\infty}=| h| _{\infty}= \operatorname{esssup}_{t\geq 0}\| h(t)\| \). The authors consider the nonlinear vector Volterra-Stieltjes equation \[ x(t)=\int_0^tK(t,s,x(s))\,d\mu(s)+[F(x)](t),\quad t\geq 0 \tag{1} \] where \(K:[0,\infty)\times [0,\infty)\times{\mathbb C}^n\to{\mathbb C}^n\) and \(F:L_{\mu,\infty}\cap L_{\mu,2}\to L_{\mu,\infty}.\) Such equations include both continuous and discrete time Volterra equations. The existence in \(L_{\mu,\infty}\) of the solution of the equation (1) is a priori assumed and such solution is locally \(\mu\)-integrable in the Riemann-Stieltjes sense. They establish estimates for \(| x| _{\mu,p}, p=2,\infty\). The stability conditions are also discussed. For formulation of the main result, let \(B_r\) be a ball in \(L_{\mu,\infty}\) of radius \(r\) and denote \(Q_r(t,s)=\sup_{z\in {\mathbb C}^n: \| z\| \leq r}\frac{\| K(t,s,z)\| }{\| z\| }\). It is supposed, that \(| F(h)| _{\mu,2}\leq q_L^{(r)}| h| _{\mu,2}+b_L^{(r)}\) for \(h\in B_r\cap L_{\mu,2}\), and \[ \beta(Q_r)=\sup_{t\geq 0}\left[\int_t^\infty Q_r^2(t,s)\,d\mu(s)\right]^{1/2},\quad N(Q_r)=\left[\int_0^\infty \int_t^\infty Q_r^2(t,s)d\mu(s)\,d\mu(t)\right]^{1/2} \] are finite. Finally, let \[ \theta(Q_r)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\frac{N^k(Q_r)}{k!}\quad \text{and} \quad q_L^{(r)}\theta(Q_r)<1, \] \[ c(Q_r,F):=\sup_{h\in B_r}| F(h)| _\infty+\frac{\beta(Q_r)\theta(Q_r)b_L^{(r)}}{1-q_L^{(r)}\theta(Q_r)}<r. \] Under these assumptions any solution of the equation (1) is bounded, belongs to \(L_{\mu,2}([0,\infty), {\mathbb C}^n)\) and satisfies the estimates: \[ | x| _{\mu,2}\leq\frac{\theta(Q_r)b_L^{(r)}}{1-q_L^{(r)}\theta(Q_r)},\quad | x| _{\infty}\leq c(Q_r,F). \]
