A nonautonomous or cocycle dynamical system that is driven by an autonomous dynamical system acting on a compact metric space is assumed to have a uniform pullback attractor. It is shown that discretization by a one-step numerical scheme gives rise to a discrete time cocycle dynamical system with a uniform pullback attractor, the component subsets of which converge upper semi continuously to th...

For a nonautonomous discrete SIQR model, we obtain conditions for permanence and extinction of the disease and we establish the global asymptotical stability when our conditions determine extinction. We also discuss the particular autonomous and periodic situations, where our conditions are sharp thresholds between permanence and extinction of the disease.

In this talk, we consider a class of nonautonomous difference equations (recursions) possessing an attractive invariant manifold in the extended state space. It is our aim to study the behavior of this manifold, as well as of its corresponding asymptotic phase under perturbation. Our framework is sufficiently general to include discrete counterparts of (center-)unstable and inertial manifolds. ...

We present a new, nonautonomous Lax pair for a lattice nonautomous modified Korteweg–deVries equation and show that it can be consistently extended multidimensionally, a property commonly referred to as being consistent around a cube. This nonautonomous equation is reduced to a series of q-discrete Painlevé equations, and Lax pairs for the reduced equations are found. A 2× 2 Lax pair is given f...

We describe a mathematical formalism and numerical algorithms for identifying and tracking slowly mixing objects in nonautonomous dynamical systems. In the autonomous setting, such objects are variously known as almost-invariant sets, metastable sets, persistent patterns, or strange eigenmodes, and have proved to be important in a variety of applications. In this current work, we explain how to...

Abstract Nonlinear difference equations of higher order are important in applications; such equations appear naturally as discrete analogues of differential and delay differential equations which model various diverse phenomena in biology, ecology, economics, physics and engineering. The study of dynamical properties of such equations is of great importance in many areas. The autonomous differe...
