in this paper we consider the second order nonlinear neutral delay partial difference equation $delta_ndelta_mbig(x_{m,n}+a_{m,n}x_{m-k,n-l}big)+ fbig(m,n,x_{m-tau,n-sigma}big)=b_{m,n}, mgeq m_{0},, ngeq n_{0}.$under suitable conditions, by making use of the banach fixed point theorem, we show the existence of uncountably many bounded positive solutions for the above partial difference equation...

A new direct method of obtaining reductions of the Toda equation is described. We find a canonical and complete class of all possible reductions under certain assumptions. The resulting equations are ordinary differentialdifference equations, sometimes referred to as delay-differential equations. The representative equation of this class is hypothesized to be a new version of one of the classic...

The influence of certain discontinuous delays on the behavior of the solutions of the wave equation is studied.

It is shown that the fundamental solution of a hyperbolic partial differential equation with time delay has a natural probabilistic structure, i.e. is approximately Gaussian, as t → ∞. The proof uses ideas from the DeMoivre proof of the Central Limit Theorem. It follows that solutions of the hyperbolic equation look approximately like solutions of a diffusion equation with constant convection a...

The simplest chaotic delay differential equation with a sinusoidal nonlinearity is described, including the route to chaos, Lyapunov exponent spectrum, and chaotic diffusion. It is prototypical of many other high-dimensional chaotic systems. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 02.30.Ks; 02.30.Oz; 05.45.-a; 05.45.Jn; 05.45.Pq

Neutral delay difference equations with variable delays are studied in this paper. Using the method of generalized characteristic equations, we give conditions for the existence of positive solutions.

In this paper, a Banach phase space containing BC(−∞, 0] and contained in C(−∞, 0] is defined with which existence of a solution and convergence of a discrete scheme are proved for an infinite delay differential equation.

l~(t) = r(t)N(t) a bkN(hk(t)) cz(t)N(gl(t)), t >_ O, l = l N(t )=~( t ) , t<O, N(O)=No, is considered. The existence and the bounds of positive solutions are studied. Sufficient conditions for the extinction of the solution are presented. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
