Periodic solutions for a class of nonlinear difference equations

ON THE PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF A CLASS OF nTH ORDER NONLINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS *

The nth order differential equation x + c (t )x + ƒ( t,x) = e(t),n>3 is considered. Using the Leray-Schauder principle, it is shown that under certain conditions on the functions involved, this equation possesses a periodic solution.

Nonlinear Difference Equations with Periodic Solutions

For ten nonlinear difference equations with only p-periodic solutions it is shown that the characteristic polynomials of the corresponding linearized equations about the equilibria have only zeros which are p-th roots of unity. An analogous result is shown concerning two systems of such equations. Five counterexamples show that the reverse is not true. Some remarks are made concerning equations...

Existence of Periodic Solutions for Higher-order Nonlinear Difference Equations

In this article, we study a higher-order nonlinear difference equation. By using critical point theory, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions.

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...
