Bounded solutions and exponential stability for linear integro-differential equations of Volterra type (Q6570169)

The manuscript contributes to the study of second-order functional-differential equations, with a specific focus on boundedness and uniform exponential stability. The paper is methodically structured and presents valuable theoretical advancements in an area of significant interest for applied mathematics. The authors address a well-defined and challenging problem in the theory of integro-differential equations, specifically exploring conditions for bounded solutions and uniform exponential stability, introducing clear definitions and applying well-established theoretical tools. The study relies on the use of nonsingular \(M\)-matrices and spectral radius analysis. By means of some examples, the authors show the practical relevance of the considered problem in modeling phenomena like epidemics and time-delay systems. Potential further investigations, such as removing restrictive conditions and exploring the oscillatory behavior, could be interesting topics for future research.
