Abstract

In this paper we investigate the stability of the equilibrium solution of the νth order linear system of difference equations

$(\Delta _{a + \nu - 1}^\nu y)(t) = \Lambda y(t + \nu - 1);t \in \mathbb{N}_a ,a \in \mathbb{R},and\Lambda \in \mathbb{R}^{p \times p} ,$

subject to the initial condition

$y(a + \nu - 1) = y - 1,$

, where 0 < ν < 1 and y−1 ∈ ℝp.
