A critical case of stability of one quasilinear difference equation of the second order (Q4939737)

The authors deal with the singularly perturbed system of integro-differential equations \[ \varepsilon^hB(t,\varepsilon)\dot x=A(t,\varepsilon)x+\rho \int_{0}^{L}K(t,s,\varepsilon)x(s,\varepsilon) ds \] and its nonhomogeneous perturbations of the form \(f(t,\varepsilon)\exp(\varepsilon^{-h}\theta (t))\). Here, \(h\in\mathbb N\), \(\rho \in \mathbb C\), and the \(n\times n\)-matrix-valued functions \(A,B,K\), the \(n\)-vector-valued function \(f\), and the scalar function \(\theta \) are assumed to be smooth for \(t,s\in[0,L]\), \(\varepsilon \in (0,1)\). The authors construct asymptotic expansions in the small parameter \(\varepsilon\) for solutions in the case where \(\det B(t,0)\equiv 0\), \(\det A(t,0)\neq 0\) for all \(t\in[0,L]\), and the matrix pencil \(\mathcal{P}(t;\omega)=A(t,0)-\omega B(t,0)\) is regular and has a single finite elementary divisor \((\omega -\omega_0(t))^p\) and an infinite one of multiplicity \(n-p\) [see \textit{F. R. Gantmacher}, Matrizenrechnung. Teil 2: Spezielle Fragen und Anwendungen. Berlin: VEB Deutscher Verlag der Wissenschaften. VII (1959; Zbl 0085.00904)]. When studying the nonhomogeneous case the authors consider both nonresonant and resonant cases. The first one is characterized by the condition that \(\dot\theta(t)\) is separated from the roots of characteristic equation \(\det\mathcal{P}(t;\omega)=0\). In the resonant case, \(\dot \theta(t)\equiv\omega_0(t)\) holds. See also \textit{G. V. Zavizion} [Ukr. Mat. Zh 49, No. 12, 1819-1826 (1997); translation from Ukr. Mat.
