Exact asymptotics of nonlinear difference equations with levels 1 and 1 +

G.K Immink (2008)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We study a class of nonlinear difference equations admitting a 1 -Gevrey formal power series solution which, in general, is not 1 - (or Borel-) summable. Using right inverses of an associated difference operator on Banach spaces of so-called quasi-functions, we prove that this formal solution can be lifted to an analytic solution in a suitable domain of the complex plane and show that this analytic solution is an accelero-sum of the formal power series.

Existence and global attractivity of periodic solutions in a higher order difference equation

Chuanxi Qian, Justin Smith (2018)

Archivum Mathematicum

Consider the following higher order difference equation x ( n + 1 ) = f ( n , x ( n ) ) + g ( n , x ( n - k ) ) , n = 0 , 1 , where f ( n , x ) and g ( n , x ) : { 0 , 1 , } × [ 0 , ) [ 0 , ) are continuous functions in x and periodic functions in n with period p , and k is a nonnegative integer. We show the existence of a periodic solution { x ˜ ( n ) } under certain conditions, and then establish a sufficient condition for { x ˜ ( n ) } to be a global attractor of all nonnegative solutions of the equation. Applications to Riccati difference equation and some other difference equations derived from mathematical biology are also given.

Existence and positivity of solutions for a nonlinear periodic differential equation

Ernest Yankson (2012)

Archivum Mathematicum

We study the existence and positivity of solutions of a highly nonlinear periodic differential equation. In the process we convert the differential equation into an equivalent integral equation after which appropriate mappings are constructed. We then employ a modification of Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem introduced by T. A. Burton ([4], Theorem 3) to show the existence and positivity of solutions of the equation.
