Nonnegativity of the Cauchy matrix and exponential stability of a neutral type system of functional differential equations. (English) Zbl 0989.34063

Summary: The authors consider the system

${x}_{i}^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)+\sum _{j=1}^{n}{q}_{ij}\left(t\right){x}_{j}^{\text{'}}\left({g}_{ij}\left(t\right)\right)+\sum _{j=1}^{n}{p}_{ij}\left(t\right){x}_{j}\left({h}_{ij}\left(t\right)\right)={f}_{i}\left(t\right),\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}t\in \left[0,+\infty \right),{x}_{i}\left(s\right)={x}_{i}^{\text{'}}\left(s\right)=0,\phantom{\rule{2.em}{0ex}}\left(1\right)$

if $s<0$, $i=1,\cdots ,n$. ${f}_{i},{p}_{ij},{q}_{ij},{h}_{ij},{g}_{ij}:\left[0,+\infty \right)\to ℝ$ are measurable essentially bounded functions, ${h}_{ij}\left(t\right)\le t$, ${g}_{ij}\left(t\right)\le t$, $A\subseteq ℝ$, $\text{mes}A=0$ implies $\text{mes}{g}_{ij}^{-1}\left(A\right)=0$, where $\text{mes}$ is the Lebesgue measure, $i,j=1,\cdots ,n$, $\text{vrai}{sup}_{t\in \left[0,+\infty \right)}{\sum }_{j=1}^{n}|{q}_{ij}\left(t\right)|<1$, $1,\cdots ,n$. Let $X\left(t\right)$ be the fundamental matrix of (1) satisfying the condition $X\left(0\right)=E$ and $C\left(t,s\right)$ the Cauchy matrix.

The authors obtain sufficient conditions for the validity of exponential estimates of the form

$|{C}_{ij}\left(t,s\right)|\le Nexp\left\{-\alpha \left(t-s\right)\right\},0\le s\le t<+\infty ,i,j=1,\cdots ,n,|{X}_{ij}\left(t\right)|\le Nexp\left\{-\alpha t\right\},\phantom{\rule{2.em}{0ex}}\left(2\right)$

with positive numbers $N$ and $\alpha$. The estimates (2) are based on results on the nonnegativity of the entries of the Cauchy matrix [see A. I. Domoshnitsky and M. V. Sheina, Differ. Equations 25, No. 2, 145-150 (1989); translation from Differ. Uravn. 25, No. 2, 201-208 (1989; Zbl 0694.34060)]. Furthermore, the authors’ method allows one to estimate ${lim}_{t\to +\infty }{\int }_{0}^{t}|{C}_{ij}\left(t,s\right)|ds$.
