On oscillation of solutions of second-order nonlinear difference equations

Oscillation of second order nonlinear neutral delay difference equations

In this paper sufficient conditions are obtained for oscillation of all solutions of a class of nonlinear neutral delay difference equations of the form ∆(y(n) + p(n)y(n−m)) + q(n)G(y(n − k)) = 0 under various ranges of p(n). The nonlinear function G,G ∈ C(R,R) is either sublinear or superlinear. Mathematics Subject classification (2000): 39 A 10, 39 A 12

Oscillation theorems for second-order nonlinear delay difference equations

By means of Riccati transformation technique, we establish some new oscillation criteria for second-order nonlinear delay difference equation ∆(pn (∆xn) ) + qnf(xn−σ) = 0, n = 0, 1, 2, . . . ,

Periodic Solutions of Second Order Nonlinear Functional Difference Equations

The development of the study of periodic solution of functional difference equations is relatively rapid. There has been many approaches to study periodic solutions of difference equations, such as critical point theory, fixed point theorems in Banach spaces or in cones of Banach spaces, coincidence degree theory, KaplanYorke method, and so on, one may see [3-7,11,13-15] and the references ther...

Periodic solutions for nonlinear second-order difference equations

We establish conditions for the existence of periodic solutions of nonlinear, second-order difference equations of the form y(t + 2) + by(t + 1) + cy(t) = f (y(t)), where c = 0 and f :R→ R is continuous. In our main result we assume that f exhibits sublinear growth and that there is a constant β > 0 such that u f (u) > 0 whenever |u| ≥ β. For such an equation we prove that ifN is an odd integer...
