Bounded mild solutions of perturbed Volterra equations with infinite delay (Q965007)

Let \(X\) be a Banach space and let \(BC(X)\) denote the Banach space of functions defined, continuous and bounded on \(\mathbb{R}\) with values in \(X\) and endowed with the supremum norm. The investigations of the paper are concerned with the existence of mild solutions (in a sense defined in the paper) of the integral equation of the form \[ u_\varepsilon(t)= \int^t_\infty a(t-s)[Au_\varepsilon(s)+ f(s)+ \varepsilon\rho(s, u_\varepsilon(s))]\,ds\tag{1} \] for \(t\in\mathbb{R}\), where \(\varepsilon> 0\) is a parameter. This equation is a perturbation of the equation \[ u(t)= \int^t_\infty a(t-s)[Au(s)+ f(s)]\,ds.\tag{2} \] It is shown that \(u_\varepsilon\to u\) as \(\varepsilon\to 0\), where \(u_\varepsilon\) is a solution of (1) while \(u\) is a solution of (2). The main tool used is the concept of an integral resolvent.
