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 ...

The spectral matrices of Toda solitons and the fundamental solution of some discrete heat equations

Luc Haine (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

The Stieltjes spectral matrix measure of the doubly infinite Jacobi matrix associated with a Toda g -soliton is computed, using Sato theory. The result is used to give an explicit expansion of the fundamental solution of some discrete heat equations, in a series of Jackson’s q -Bessel functions. For Askey-Wilson type solitons, this expansion reduces to a finite sum.

The stability analysis of a discretized pantograph equation

Jiří Jánský, Petr Kundrát (2011)

Mathematica Bohemica

The paper deals with a difference equation arising from the scalar pantograph equation via the backward Euler discretization. A case when the solution tends to zero but after reaching a certain index it loses this tendency is discussed. We analyse this problem and estimate the value of such an index. Furthermore, we show that the utilized proof technique enables us to investigate some other numerical formulae, too.

The zero distribution and uniqueness of difference-differential polynomials

Kai Liu, Xin-Ling Liu, Lian-Zhong Yang (2013)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We consider the zero distribution of difference-differential polynomials of meromorphic functions and present some results which can be seen as the discrete analogues of the Hayman conjecture. In addition, we also investigate the uniqueness of difference-differential polynomials of entire functions sharing one common value. Our theorems improve some results of Luo and Lin [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 377 (2011), 441-449] and Liu, Liu and Cao [Appl. Math. J. Chinese Univ. 27 (2012), 94-104].

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].
