GENERAL LINEAR DIFFERENCE SYSTEM (Q4943200)

The author obtains a fundamental matrix of the following linear system \[ Y(x+1)= A(x)Y(x), \quad x\in E_{r_0} \tag{1} \] where \(E_{r_0}: =\{x\in \mathbb{C}\mid \text{Re} x\geq r_0\geq 2\}\), \(A(x)\) and \(Y(x)\) are \(m\times m\) matrices with entries in \(\mathbb{C}\), and \(A(x)\) is subject to some conditions. Let \[ B\bigl(E_{r_0}, {\mathcal M}_m(\mathbb{C}) \bigr)=\biggl\{F:E_{r_0} \to{\mathcal M}_m (\mathbb{C}) \mid \exists k_0>0 \text{ such that }\|F\|\leq k_0,\biggr\} \] be the complex linear space with the norm \(\|f\|=\sup_{x\in E_{r_0}}\|f(x)\|\), where \({\mathcal M}_m (\mathbb{C})\) is the set of all \(m\times m\) constant matrices with entries in \(\mathbb{C}\), and \(\|f(x)\|= \max_{1\leq i,j\leq m}|m_{ij}|\). It is assumed in the paper that, (i) \(A(x)\) is regular, i.e., it belongs to \(B(E_{r_0},{\mathcal M}_m (\mathbb{C}))\) and there exists a constant matrix \(A_0\), with \(m\) eigenvalues with distinct modules, such that \(A(x)\to A_0\) as \(\text{Re} x\to +\infty\); and (ii) for some constant matrix \(B\) we have \[ A(x)=A_0\left(I+{B\over x}+C(x) \right), \quad \bigl\|C(x)\bigr \|\leq k/(\text{Re} x)^2, \quad x\in E_{r_0} \] where \(k\geq 1\) is a constant. Note that, above condition is much more general than assumptions on \(A(x)\) known in the literature.
