Global asymptotic stability of solutions of a functional integral equation (Q944757)

The authors consider the solvability in the space \(BC(\mathbb{R}_{+})\) of the following functional integral equation \[ x(t)=f(t,x(\alpha(t)))+\int_0^{\beta(t)} g(t,s,x(\gamma(s))) \,ds, \] where \(\alpha,\beta,\gamma : \mathbb{R}_{+}\to\mathbb{R}_{+}\) are continuous and \(\alpha(t)\to\infty\) as \(t\to\infty\). Using the technique of measures of noncompactness, namely a fixed point theorem of Darbo type, they prove a theorem on the existence and global asymptotic stability of solutions of the above functional integral equation. A few realizations of the result obtained are indicated.
