Matrix solutions of the functional equation of the gamma function.
We establish a q-shift difference analogue of the logarithmic derivative lemma. We also investigate the value distributions of q-shift difference polynomials and the growth of solutions of complex q-shift difference equations.
This second Part II, which follows a first Part I for the discrete-time case (see [DijkSl1]), deals with monotonicity and comparison results, as generalization of the pure stochastic case, for stochastic dynamic systems with arbitrary nonnegative generators in the continuous-time case. In contrast with the discrete-time case the generalization is no longer straightforward. A discrete-time transformation will therefore be developed first. Next, results from Part I can be adopted. The conditions,...
In two subsequent parts, Part I and II, monotonicity and comparison results will be studied, as generalization of the pure stochastic case, for arbitrary dynamic systems governed by nonnegative matrices. Part I covers the discrete-time and Part II the continuous-time case. The research has initially been motivated by a reliability application contained in Part II. In the present Part I it is shown that monotonicity and comparison results, as known for Markov chains, do carry over rather smoothly...
In this work we establish existence results for solutions to multipoint boundary value problems for second order difference equations with fully nonlinear boundary conditions involving two, three and four points. Our results are also applied to systems.
Nous introduisons une version -analogue du procédé d’accélération élémentaire d’Écalle-Martinet-Ramis et définissons la notion de série entière -multisommable. Nous montrons que toute série entière solution formelle d’une équation aux -différences linéaire analytique est -multisommable.
This paper concerns difference equations where takes values in and is meromorphic in in a neighborhood of in and holomorphic in a neighborhood of 0 in . It is shown that under certain conditions on the linear part of , formal power series solutions in are multisummable. Moreover, it is shown that formal solutions may always be lifted to holomorphic solutions in upper and lower halfplanes, but in general these solutions are not uniquely determined by the formal solutions.
