Secant tree calculus

Dominique Foata, Guo-Niu Han (2014)

Open Mathematics

A true Tree Calculus is being developed to make a joint study of the two statistics “eoc” (end of minimal chain) and “pom” (parent of maximum leaf) on the set of secant trees. Their joint distribution restricted to the set {eoc-pom ≤ 1} is shown to satisfy two partial difference equation systems, to be symmetric and to be expressed in the form of an explicit three-variable generating function.

Second order difference inclusions of monotone type

G. Apreutesei, N. Apreutesei (2012)

Mathematica Bohemica

The existence of anti-periodic solutions is studied for a second order difference inclusion associated with a maximal monotone operator in Hilbert spaces. It is the discrete analogue of a well-studied class of differential equations.

Second order linear q -difference equations: nonoscillation and asymptotics

Pavel Řehák (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The paper can be understood as a completion of the q -Karamata theory along with a related discussion on the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the linear q -difference equations. The q -Karamata theory was recently introduced as the theory of regularly varying like functions on the lattice q 0 : = { q k : k 0 } with q > 1 . In addition to recalling the existing concepts of q -regular variation and q -rapid variation we introduce q -regularly bounded functions and prove many related properties. The q -Karamata theory is then...

Sets of k -recurrence but not ( k + 1 ) -recurrence

Nikos Frantzikinakis, Emmanuel Lesigne, Máté Wierdl (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

For every k , we produce a set of integers which is k -recurrent but not ( k + 1 ) -recurrent. This extends a result of Furstenberg who produced a 1 -recurrent set which is not 2 -recurrent. We discuss a similar result for convergence of multiple ergodic averages. We also point out a combinatorial consequence related to Szemerédi’s theorem.

Skolem–Mahler–Lech type theorems and Picard–Vessiot theory

Michael Wibmer (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We show that three problems involving linear difference equations with rational function coefficients are essentially equivalent. The first problem is the generalization of the classical Skolem–Mahler–Lech theorem to rational function coefficients. The second problem is whether or not for a given linear difference equation there exists a Picard–Vessiot extension inside the ring of sequences. The third problem is a certain special case of the dynamical Mordell–Lang conjecture. This allows us to deduce...
