    Exact and discretized stability of the Bagley-Torvik equation, Elsevier
    journal article in Web of Science
    The paper discusses stability and asymptotic properties of a two-term linear fractional differential equation involving the Bagley–Torvik equation as the particular case. These properties are analysed for the exact as well as numerical solutions obtained from the Grünwald–Letnikov discretization of the studied differential equation. As the main results, precise descriptions of the exact and discretized stability regions are presented, including the decay rate of the solutions.

    This paper concerns with basic stability properties of linear autonomous fractional differential and difference systems involving derivative operators of the Riemann-Liouville type. We derive stability regions for special discretizations of the studied fractional differential systems including a precise description of their asymptotics.

    This paper discusses two explicit forms of necessary and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the autonomous four-term linear difference equation. These conditions are derived by use of the Schur–Cohn criterion converted into a more applicable form.

    journal article - other
    This paper discusses stability and asymptotic properties of a numerical solution of the nonhomogeneous pantograph equation. The utilized discretizations originate from the Theta-methods considered on uniform as well as quasi-geometric mesh.

    journal article - other
    The paper discusses some problems of the numerical discretizations of the pantograph equation with a special emphasize to the trapezoidal rule discretization. The main result formulates conditions under which the numerical solution has the same decay rate as the exact solution.
