This paper is concerned with the delay partial difference equation (1) $A_{m+1,n}+A_{m,n+1}-A_{m,n}+{\Sigma }_{i=1}^u{p}_i{A}_{m-k_i,n-l_i}=0$ where $p_i$ are real numbers, $k_i$ and $l_i$ are nonnegative integers, u is a positive integer. Sufficient and necessary conditions for all solutions of (1) to be oscillatory are obtained.

In this paper we study two classes of delay partial difference equations with constant coefficients. Explicit necessary and sufficient conditions for the oscillation of the solutions of these equations are obtained.

In this research we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of the zero solution of scalar Volterra integro-dynamic equation on general time scales. Our approach is based on the construction of suitable Lyapunov functionals. We will compare our findings with known results and provides application to quantum calculus.

In this paper the authors give necessary and sufficient conditions for the oscillation of solutions of nonlinear delay difference equations of Emden– Fowler type in the form ${\Delta }^2{y}_{n-1}+q_n{y}_{\sigma \left(n\right)}^{\gamma }=g_n$, where $\gamma$ is a quotient of odd positive integers, in the superlinear case $(\gamma >1)$ and in the sublinear case $(\gamma <1)$.

In the paper, conditions are obtained, in terms of coefficient functions, which are necessary as well as sufficient for non-oscillation/oscillation of all solutions of self-adjoint linear homogeneous equations of the form $$\Delta \left(p_{n-1}\Delta y_{n-1}\right)+q{y}_n=0,n\ge 1,$$ where $q$ is a constant. Sufficient conditions, in terms of coefficient functions, are obtained for non-oscillation of all solutions of nonlinear non-homogeneous equations of the type $$\Delta \left(p_{n-1}\Delta y_{n-1}\right)+q_{n}g\left(y_n\right)=f_{n-1},n\ge 1,$$ where, unlike earlier works, $f_n\ge 0$ or $\le 0$ (but $\neg \equiv 0)$ for large $n$. Further, these results are used to obtain...

We consider the implicit discretization of Nagumo equation on finite lattices and show that its variational formulation corresponds in various parameter settings to convex, mountain-pass or saddle-point geometries. Consequently, we are able to derive conditions under which the implicit discretization yields multiple solutions. Interestingly, for certain parameters we show nonuniqueness for arbitrarily small discretization steps. Finally, we provide a simple example showing that the nonuniqueness...

The paper discusses basics of calculus of backward fractional differences and sums. We state their definitions, basic properties and consider a special two-term linear fractional difference equation. We construct a family of functions to obtain its solution.

We introduce and analyze a numerical strategy to approximate effective coefficients in stochastic homogenization of discrete elliptic equations. In particular, we consider the simplest case possible: An elliptic equation on the d-dimensional lattice ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$ with independent and identically distributed conductivities on the associated edges. Recent results by Otto and the author quantify the error made by approximating the homogenized coefficient by the averaged energy of a regularized corrector (with...
