Brunner, Hermann; Vermiglio, Rossana
Stability of solutions of delay functional integro-differential equations and their discretizations.
(English)
[J] Computing 71, No. 3, 229-245 (2003). ISSN 0010-485X; ISSN 1436-5057/e

The authors derive asymptotic stability results for solutions of delay functional integro-dif\-feren\-tial equations of the type $${d\over dt}\Big[y(t)-\int_0^t a(t-s)G(s,y(s-\tau))\,ds\Big] \, = \, F(t,y(t)), \quad t\geq 0.$$ The idea is based on an approach introduced by {\it M. Zennaro} [Numer. Math. 77, 549--563 (1997; Zbl 0886.65092)] who studied stability with resprect to the forcing term. Therefore, the initial integro-differential equation is reformulated into $${d\over dt}\big[ y(t)-\big(V_\tau y\big)(t)\big]= F(t,y(t)), \qquad t\geq 0,$$ using the delay Volterra integral operator $$\big(V_\tau y\big)(t)= \int_0^t a(t-s)G(s,y(s-\tau))\, ds, \qquad t\geq 0.$$ Studying stability and contractivity properties of the latter equation allows to deduce similar properties for solutions generated by continuous Runge-Kutta or collocation methods.
