The law of large numbers and a functional equation

Maciej Sablik (1998)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We deal with the linear functional equation (E) g ( x ) = i = 1 r p i g ( c i x ) , where g:(0,∞) → (0,∞) is unknown, ( p , . . . , p r ) is a probability distribution, and c i ’s are positive numbers. The equation (or some equivalent forms) was considered earlier under different assumptions (cf. [1], [2], [4], [5] and [6]). Using Bernoulli’s Law of Large Numbers we prove that g has to be constant provided it has a limit at one end of the domain and is bounded at the other end.

The oscillation of an m th order perturbed nonlinear difference equation

Patricia J. Y. Wong, Ravi P. Agarwal (1996)

Archivum Mathematicum

We offer sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all solutions of the perturbed difference equation | Δ m y ( k ) | α - 1 Δ m y ( k ) + Q ( k , y ( k - σ k ) , Δ y ( k - σ k ) , , Δ m - 2 y ( k - σ k ) ) = P ( k , y ...

Time discrete 2-sex population model

C. O. A. Sowunmi (2003)

Banach Center Publications

A time-discrete 2-sex model with gestation period is analysed. It is significant that the conditions for local stability of a nontrivial steady state do not require that the expected number of female offspring per female equal unity. This is in contrast to results obtained by Curtin and MacCamy [4] and the author [10].
