Abstract
In this work we consider the first order linear difference equation −yt+1+(1+rt)yt=εt, t=0,1,2,…, where ε ∈ lp, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, rt ≥ 0 and ∏j=0T−1(1+rt+j)<∞, T=1,2,…. The equation is called correctly solvable in the given space lp, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞ if for any ε ∈ lp there is a unique solution y ∈ lp and the following inequality ||y||lp≤c(p)||ε||lp for all ε ∈ lp holds with absolute constant 0 < c(p) < ∞. We find a criterion for correct solvability of the above difference equation in space lp.
