Abstract
Accurate estimates for the norms of the solutions of a
vector difference equation are derived. They give us
stability conditions and bounds for the region of
attraction of the stationary solution. Our approach
is based on estimates for the powers of a constant matrix.
We also discuss applications of our main results to
partial reaction-diffusion difference equations and to a
Volterra difference equation.
