We also show that the solution of x(Delta)(t) = A(t)x(t) + integral(t)(tau) B(t, u)x(u)Delta u + f(t), x(tau) = x(0) is unique and given by the variation of parameters formula x(t) = Z(t, tau)x(0) + integral(t)(tau) Z(t, sigma(s))f(s)Delta s.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDiscrete-SystemsStabilityPerturbationResolventArticle10.1017/S00170895110000732-s2.0-79952343131
