1. I NTRODUCTION
In the recent times Y. Wang et al. in [7] has proved that the discrete system λu+1 =
Au λu is uniformly exponentially stable if and only if the unique solution of the initial
value problem
(
λu+1 = Au λu + z(u + 1), u ∈ Z+ ,
(Au , 0)
λ0 = 0,
is bounded for any natural number u and any almost d-periodic sequence z(u) with z(0) =
0. Here, Au is a sequence of bounded linear operators on Banach space X. It is well
known, see e.g. [1, 4, 6, 8] that if the initial value problem
dλ
= Aλ(t) + eiβt γ, t ≥ 0, λ(0) = 0,
dt

has a bounded solution on R+ for every β ∈ R and any γ ∈ X then the homogenous
system dλ
dt = Aλ(t), is uniformly exponentially stable.
In case of discrete semigroups recently Zada et al. [10] proved that the system λu+1 =
D(1)λu is uniformly exponentially stable if and only if for each d-periodic bounded sequence f (u) with f (0) = 0 the solution of the initial value problem
(
λu+1 = D(1)λu + eiβ(u+1) f (u + 1),
(D(1), µ, 0)
λ(0) = 0
is bounded, where D(1) is the algebraic generator of the discrete semigroup T (u), u ∈ Z+ .
In this article we extended the result of last quoted paper to space of almost periodic
sequences denoted by AP 1 (Z+ , X), for such spaces we recommend [5].
2. N OTATIONS AND P RELIMINARIES
We denote by k · k the norms of operators and vectors. Denote by R+ the set of real
numbers and by Z+ the set of all non-negative integers.
Let B(Z+ , X) be the space of X-valued bounded sequences with the supremum norm,
and Pd (Z+ , X) be the space of d-periodic (with d ≥ 2) sequences z(n). Then Pd (Z+ , X)
is a closed subspace of B(Z+ , X).
Throughout this paper, A ∈ B(X), σ(A) denotes the spectrum of A, and r(A) :=
sup{|λ| : λ ∈ σ(A)} denotes the spectral radius of A. It is well known that r(A) =
1
lim kAn k n . The resolvent set of A is defined as ρ(A) := C\σ(A), i.e., the set of all
n→∞
λ ∈ C for which A − λI is an invertible operator in B(X).
We give some results in the framework of general Banach space and spaces of sequences
as defined above.
Recall that A is power bounded if there exists a positive constant M such that kAn k ≤
M for all n ∈ Z+ .
The family Ω := {ξ(u, v) : u, v ∈ Z+ , u ≥ v} of bounded linear operators is called
d-periodic discrete evolution family, for a fixed integer d ∈ {2, 3, . . .}, if it satisfies the
following properties:
• ξ(u, u) = I, ∀ u ∈ Z+ .
• ξ(u, v)ξ(v, r) = ξ(u, r), ∀ u ≥ v ≥ r, u, v, r ∈ Z+ .
• ξ(u + d, v + d) = ξ(u, v), ∀ u ≥ v, u, v ∈ Z+ .
It is well known that any d-periodic evolution family Ω is exponentially bounded, that
is, there exist ρ ∈ R and Mρ ≥ 0 such that
kξ(u, v)k ≤ Mρ eρ(u−v) , ∀ u ≥ v ∈ Z+ .
(2. 1)
When family Ω is exponentially bounded its growth bound, ρ0 (Ω), is the infimum of all
ρ ∈ R for which there exists Mρ ≥ 1 such that the relation ( 2. 1 ) is fulfilled. It is known
that

A family Ω is uniformly exponentially stable if ρ0 (Ω) is negative, or equivalently, there
exists M ≥ 1 and ρ ≥ 0 such that kξ(u, v)k ≤ M e−ρ(u−v) , for all u ≥ v ∈ Z+ .
The following lemma is a consequence of (2.1).
Lemma 2.1. [9] The discrete evolution family Ω is uniformly exponentially stable if and
only if r(ξ(d, 0)) < 1.
The map ξ(d, 0) is also called the Poincare map or monodromy operator of the evolution
family Ω.
Proposition 2.2. Let Ω = {ξ(u, v) : u, v ≥ 0} be a d-periodic discrete evolution family
acting on the Banach space X. The following four statements are equivalent:
(1) ξ(u, v) is uniformly exponentially stable.
(2) There exists two positive constants M and w such that
kξ(u, v)k ≤ M e−w(u−v) , ∀ u, v ≥ 0.
(3) The spectral radius of ξ(u, 0) is less than one; i.e.,
1
r(ξ(u, 0)) = sup{|λ| : λ ∈ σ(ξ(u, 0))} = lim kξ(u)k k k < 1.
k→∞
(4) For each µ ∈ R, one has
sup k

e−iµk ξ(u, k)k k = M (µ) < ∞.

The proof of the implications (1) ⇒ (2) ⇒ (3) ⇒ (4) is obvious from the definitions. The
implication of (4) ⇒ (1) can be found in Lemma (1) of [3].
We recall the following result from [7] which is very helpful in the proof of our main
result.
Theorem 2.3. [7] Let Ω := {ξ(u, v) : u, v ∈ Z+ , u ≥ v} be a discrete evolution family
on X. If the sequence
u
X
eiθk ξ(u, k)z(k)
ζu =

is bounded for each real number θ and each d-periodic sequence z(u) ∈ W, then Ω is
uniformly exponentially stable.

3. D ISCRETE E VOLUTION S EMIGROUP
Here we consider a space of X-valued sequences and define a discrete evolution semigroup acting on it. For this purpose, we need the following spaces:
B(Z, X) which is the space of all X-valued bounded and uniformly convergent sequences
defined on Z, endowed with the norm kf k∞ = supu∈Z kf (u)k.
P d (Z, X) which is the subspace of B(Z, X) consisting of all sequences F such that F(u +
d) = F(u) f or all u ∈ Z.
AP 1 (Z, X) which is the space of all X-valued sequences defined on Z representable in
k=∞
P iµk u
the form f(u) =
e
ck (f) f or all u ∈ Z, where µk ∈ Z, ck (f) ∈ X and
k=−∞
kfk1 =
k=∞
X
kck (f)k < ∞.
k=−∞
For almost periodic sequences, see [2, 5].
For an arbitrary u ≥ 0, we denote by Iˆu the set ofTall X-valued sequences defined on
Z such that there exists a sequence F in P d (Z, X) AP 1 (Z, X) with F(u) = 0, f =
F|{u,u+1,...} and f(v) = 0 for all v < u. Set Iˆ = {eiµ ⊗ f : µ ∈ R and f ∈ ∪u≥0 Iˆu } and let
e
ˆ Consider the space E(Z,
ˆ which is a closed subspace
E(Z, X) = span(I).

of B(Z, X) endowed with sup norm. The discrete evolution semigroup T¸ = {T¸(u)}u≥0
e
associated to a q-periodic discrete family Ω = {ξ(u, v)}u,v≥0 on E(Z,
X) is defined as:

ξ(u, u − v)ef(u − v), if u ≥ v,
T¸(v)ef (u) =

if u < v,
e
for ef ∈ E(Z,
X).
e
Proposition 3.1. The space E(Z,
X) is invariant under the discrete evolution semigroup
T¸, defined in (3.4).
Proof. Let ef(u) = eiµu f(u), with µ ∈ R and f ∈ ∪u≥0 Iˆu . Then there exists r ≥ 0 and a
sequence F(u) ∈ P d (Z, X) ∩ AP 1 (Z, X) such that F(r) = 0, f(u) = F(u) f or u ≥ r
and f(u) = 0 for u < r. Thus, for each u ≥ 0 and v ∈ Z, we have
½ iµ(u−v)
¡

e
ξ(u − v)F(u − v), if u ≥ v + r,
e
T¸(v)f (u) =
(3. 5)
0,
if 0 ≤ u < v + r.
The sequence G(u) = e−iµ(u−v) ξ(u−v)F(u−v) is d-periodic and belongs to AP 1 (Z, X).
Moreover
kG(.)k1 ≤ kξ(u − v)kk

X
eiµk (u−v) ck (F)k ≤ M eνu kF(.)k1 < ∞

for some M ≥ 1 and w ∈ R. Thus T¸(u)ef ∈ Iˆ.
e
As an operator from E(Z,
X) to B(Z, X), T¸(u) is linear. When ef = αe

h ∈

e
E(Z, X), with e
g, h ∈ Iˆ and α, β are complex scalars, one has T¸(u)f = αT¸(u)e
g + β T¸(u)e
h.
e
But T¸(u)e
g, T¸(u)e
h ∈ Iˆ and therefore T¸(u)ef belongs to E(Z, X). Thus E(Z,
X) is invariant
under the discrete evolution semigroup T¸.

4. R ESULTS
Let G = T¸(1) − I, where T¸(1) is called the algebraic generator of the discrete evolution
semigroup T¸. Thus, for discrete semigroups, the Taylor formula of order one is:

In the next theorem we give our main result.
Theorem 4.2. Let U be a q-periodic discrete evolution family acting on a Banach space
e
X and let T¸ be its associated discrete evolution semigroup on E(Z,
X). Denote by G
the operator T¸(1) − I, where T¸(1) is the algebraic generator of T¸ . The following are
equivalent.
(1) Ω is uniformly exponentially stable.
(2) T¸ is uniformly exponentially stable.

for all u ≥ v. Then, for all u ≥ 0 and any ef belonging to E(Z,
X), one has

(2) ⇒ (3). It is well known that the evolution semigroup T¸ is uniformly exponentially
stable if and only if r(T¸(1)) < 1. It means that 1 is not an eigenvalue of T¸(1) i.e. 1 ∈
ρ(T¸(1)) and so G = T¸(1) − I is invertible.

(3) ⇒ (4). As G is invertible. Thus for every ef ∈ E(Z,

(5) ⇒ (1). It can be seen as a direct consequence of Theorem 2.3.
In terms of initial value problems, the result contained in Theorem 4.2 may be read as
follows.

Corollary 4.3. Ω is uniformly exponentially stable if and only if for each ef ∈ E(Z,
X),
the solution of the problem
λu+1 = A(u)λu + ef(u + 1), u ∈ Z+
λ0 = 0,
is bounded on Z+ .
5. A PPLICATIONS
An immediate consequence of Theorem 4.2 is the spectral mapping theorem for the
e
discrete evolution semigroup T¸ on E(Z,
X).
Theorem 5.1. Let Ω be a d-periodic discrete evolution family acting on X and let T¸ be its
e
associated discrete evolution semigroup on E(Z,
X). Denote by G the operator T¸(1) − I,
where T¸(1) is the algebraic generator of T¸. Then
σ(G) = {z ∈ T : Re(z) ≤ r(G)}.
Proof. It is well-known that ρ(G) ⊇ {z ∈ T : Re(z) > r(G)}. To establish the converse
inclusion, let α ∈ ρ(G) and µ ∈ T with Re(µ) ≥ Re(α). We prove that µ ∈ ρ(G). Consider the discrete evolution family Uα (u, v) = e−α(u−v) U(u, v), where u ≥ v ≥ 0, whose
associated discrete evolution semigroup is T¸α (u) = e−αu T¸(n). Obviously, αI − G is the
Asymptotic Behavior of Linear Evolution Difference System
infinitesimal generator of T¸α . Because αI − G is invertible and applying Theorem 4.2,
C¸α (and then T¸µ ) is uniformly exponentially stable. Therefore, by applying again Theorem
4.2, µ ∈ ρ(G).
