Subexponential Solutions of Linear Volterra Difference Equations

  • Martin Bohner and Nasrin Sultana

Abstract

We study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a scalar convolution sum-difference equation. The rate of convergence of the solution is found by determining the asymptotic behavior of the solution of the transient renewal equation.
