Perturbation of Volterra Difference Equations

From MaRDI portal





Consider the system of nonlinear Volterra difference equations of the form \[ \begin{aligned} x(n+1)&=f(n)+A(n)x(n)+\sum_{j=0}^nB(n,j)x(j)+g_n(x(n))+h(x)(n);\\ x(0)&=x_0,\end{aligned}\tag{\(*\)} \] where \(A(n)\) and \(B(n,m)\) are \(d\times d\) matrices with entries in \(\mathbb {E}\) for \(n,m\in \mathbb {Z}^{+}=\{0,1,2,\dots\}\), \(x(n),f(n)\,(n\geq 0)\) are vectors in \(\mathbb {E}^d,\) \(g_n(n\geq 0\,)\) is a vector-valued function, \(h(\phi )\) is a small nonlinear functional and \(\mathbb {E}\) is either \(\mathbb {R}\), the one-dimensional real Euclidean space, or \(\mathbb {C},\) the one-dimensional complex Euclidean space, \(g_n(0)=0\) for \(n\geq 0\) and \(h(0)=0.\) Clearly the perturbation terms are \(g_n(x(n))\) and \(h(x)(n)\). Sufficient conditions are obtained so that the stability properties of the unperturbed Volterra equation are preserved under perturbation. The existence of asymptotically periodic solutions of equation (\(*\)) is also proved.
