Peak effects in stable linear difference equations

Peak Effects in Stable Linear Difference Equations

We consider asymptotically stable scalar difference equations with unit-norm initial conditions. First, it is shown that the solution may happen to deviate far away from the equilibrium point at finite time instants prior to converging to zero. Second, for a number of root distributions and initial conditions, exact values of deviations or lower bounds are provided. Several specific difference ...

Linear Difference Equations

Dynamic economic models are a useful tool to study economic dynamics and get a better understanding of relevant phenomena such as growth and business cycle. Equilibrium conditions are normally identified by a system of difference equations and a set of boundary conditions (describing limit values of some variables). Thus, studying equilibrium properties requires studying the properties of a sys...

Linear difference and differential equations

Semi-linear Stochastic Difference Equations

We consider in this paper a class of vector valued processes that have the form Yn+1 = An(Yn)+ Bn. Bn is assumed to be stationary ergodic and An is assumed to have a divisibility property. This class includes linear stochastic difference equations as well as multi-type branching processes (with a discrete or with a continuous state space). We derive explicit expressions for the probability dist...

Difference integrability conditions for parameterized linear difference and differential equations

This paper is devoted to integrability conditions for systems of linear difference and differential equations with difference parameters. It is shown that such a system is difference isomonodromic if and only if it is difference isomonodromic with respect to each parameter separately. Due to this result, it is no longer necessary to solve non-linear difference equations to verify isomonodromici...
