On exponential stability of nonlinear Volterra difference equations in phase spaces

Abstract

Using a novel approach, we present some new explicit criteria for global exponential stability of the zero solution of general nonlinear Volterra difference equations in phase spaces. In particular, this gives a solution to an open problem posed very recently by E. Braverman and I. M. Karabash in Journal of Difference Equations and Applications 18, 909–939 (2012). As an application, we apply the obtained results to study asymptotic behavior of equilibriums of discrete time neural networks.
