A note on the qualitative analysis of Volterra integro-differential equations

ABSTRACT The aim of paper is to analyse some qualitative properties of solutions of nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations (VIDDEs) with constant delay and Volterra integro-differential equations (VIDEs) without delay by means of the Razumikhin method. A suitable Lyapunov function is defined and then applied to that IDEs such that some former results can be obtained under weaker conditions and additionally some new results are given on the qualitative properties of that IDEs such as uniformly stability and integrability of solutions. For the VIDDEs with constant delay, the improved less conservative conditions of the stability, asymptotically stability and the boundedness of solutions and the new conditions of uniformly stability, integrability of solutions are all derived subject to the functions appeared in the considered IDEs. Moreover, the established stability, asymptotically stability and boundedness conditions of VIDDEs with constant delay simplify, extend and improve some previous works can be found in the literature and remove some unnecessary conditions. Finally, the validity of the presented results is indicated by some numerical examples using MATLAB-Simulink
