In theory applications of second order integro-differential
equations, it is crucial to investigate qualitative features of solutions
such as stability, boundedness, and etc. There is an extensive literature regarding these qualitative behaviors of solutions of second order ordinary differential equations. These qualitative properties of
solutions of second order ordinary differential equations have been
extensively studied in the literature. Despite this case, the literature on these qualitative aspects of second-order integro-differential
equations is somewhat limited. In this paper, we obtained some
new criteria for the stability and boundedness of solutions to a certain second order nonlinear integro-differential equation (IDE). By
defining and then using a suitable Lyapunov function (LF), we are
able to establish the asymptotic stability and boundedness of solutions of that IDE. In particular cases of the IDE, two examples on
the stability and boundedness of solutions are given. The results
of this study extend and improve some recent results of the literature and have new contributions to the qualitative theory of IDEs.
