Existence criteria for positive solutions of a nonlinear difference inequality

Sui Cheng, Guang Zhang (2000)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

This paper is concerned with a class of nonlinear difference inequalities which include many different classes of difference inequalities and equations as special cases. By means of a Riccati type transformation, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of eventually positive solutions and positive nonincreasing solutions are obtained. Various type of comparison theorems are also derived as applications, which extends many theorems in the literature.

Existence of a positive solution to a nonlocal semipositone boundary value problem on a time scale

Christopher S. Goodrich (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We consider the existence of at least one positive solution to the dynamic boundary value problem - y Δ Δ ( t ) = λ f ( t , y ( t ) ) , t [ 0 , T ] 𝕋 y ( 0 ) = τ 1 τ 2 F 1 ( s , y ( s ) ) Δ s y σ 2 ( T ) = τ 3 τ 4 F 2 ( s , y ( s ) ) Δ s , where 𝕋 is an arbitrary time scale with 0 < τ 1 < τ 2 < σ 2 ( T ) and 0 < τ 3 < τ 4 < σ 2 ( T ) satisfying τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 , τ 4 𝕋 , and where the boundary conditions at t = 0 and t = σ 2 ( T ) can be both nonlinear and nonlocal. This extends some recent results on second-order semipositone dynamic boundary value problems, and we illustrate these extensions with some examples.

Existence of different kind of solutions for discrete time equations

Denis Pennequin (2014)

Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems

The aim of this paper is to extend the classical linear condition concerning diagonal dominant bloc matrix to fully nonlinear equations. Even if assumptions are strong, we obtain an explicit condition which exactly extend the one known in linear case, and the setting allows also to consider bicontinuous operator instead of the schift and as particular case, we receive periodic or almost periodic solutions for discrete time equations.
