Subject:
General methods for investigation of global behavior of distributed dynamical systems which can be described by means of Volterra integral equations are elaborated. These methods give the opportunity to obtain new criteria of dichotomy, Lagrange stability, global asymptotic stability, instability. The criteria are applied to a number of concrete mechanical, electromechanical, biological systems.
Biography
