On linear Volterra difference equations with infinite delay

Advances in Difference Equations volume 2006, Article number: 078470 (2006) Cite this article

Abstract

Linear neutral, and especially non-neutral, Volterra difference equations with infinite delay are considered and some new results on the behavior of solutions are established. The results are obtained by the use of appropriate positive roots of the corresponding characteristic equation.
