\(L^2\)-stability of linear spatially homogeneous mixed functional-differential equations (Q5926579)

In this very interesting paper the author finds necessary and sufficient conditions for \(L^2\)-stability of the solutions of the form \[ \dot u(x,t)=\int^h_{-h} [d_\xi r(\xi,t)]u(x+\xi,t), \] where \(r(\cdot,t):[-h,h]\to\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}\) is a matrix function of bounded variation.
