Abstract

In this research we prove general theorems regarding the stability of the zero solution of a functional difference equation with finite delay. In the analysis we assume the existence of a Lyapunov functional that satisfies certain conditions. Results on finite delay difference equations using Lyapunov functions or functionals are scarce. We apply our results to finite delay difference equations and to Volterra difference equations with finite delays.
