A Liapunov functional for a linear integral equation

In this note we consider a scalar integral equation $x(t)= a(t)-\int^t_0 C(t,s)x(s)ds$, together with its resolvent equation, $R(t,s)= C(t,s)-\int^t_s C(t,u) R(u,s)du$, where $C$ is convex. Using a Liapunov functional we show that for fixed $s$ then $|R(t,s) - C(t,s)| \to 0$ as $t \to \infty$ and $...
