Synopsis

This paper studies how, in a difference equation, uniform asymptotic stability for commensurable delays implies uniform asymptotic stability globally in the delays. A result is also given on renorming the space C= C([ – ∥r∥, 0]; ℂn so that a difference operator has norm less than one if it is uniformly asymptotically stable globally in the delays.
