No label defined (Q4527372)

Given a matrix \(A\), the criterion in question is stated in terms of the series \[ H_p=\sum_{k=0}^\infty (1+k)^{-2p}(A^*)^{k}A^k. \] It is shown that the spectrum of \(A\) is included into the unit circle if and only if the series \(H_p\) is convergent for some \(p\geq 0\). Next, the authors present several stability criteria for the zero solution to the difference equation \[ x(n+1)=Ax(n) \tag{1} \] and to the equation \[ y'(t)=B(t)y \tag{2} \] with \(B(t)\) a periodic matrix of period \(\omega\). In particular, if the matrix \(H_0\) does not exist then the zero solution to (1) is stable if and only if the series \(H_p\) is convergent for some \(p\in (1/2,3/2]\). The same result is valid for the system (2) if we put \(A=Y(\omega)\), where \(Y(t)\) is the fundamental matrix of solutions to (2).
