This note studies the exponential asymptotic stability of the zero solution of the
linear Volterra equation
x˙ (t) = Ax(t) + t
0
K(t − s)x(s) ds
by extending results in the paper of Murakami “Exponential Asymptotic Stability
for scalar linear Volterra Equations”, Differential and Integral Equations, 4, 1991.
In particular, when K isi ntegrable and has entries which do not change sign, and
the equation has a uniformly asymptotically stable solution, exponential asymptotic
stability can be identified by an exponential decay condition on the entries of K.
