We consider the discrete right definite Sturm-Liouville problems with nonlinear eigenparameter dependent boundary conditions

,

where T > 1 is an integer and λ is the spectrum parameter. We obtain the existence of the eigenvalues, the oscillation properties of the eigenfunctions and the interlacing results of the eigenvalues of the above problem with the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet problem and the Neumann problem.     

Lie symmetry analysis and explicit formulas for solutions of some third-order difference equations

Abstract

Lie group theory is applied to rational difference equations of the form

where (a_n)n∈?₀, (b_n)n∈?₀ are non-zero real sequences. Consequently, new symmetries are derived and exact solutions, in unified manner, are constructed. Based on some constraints in the expression of the symmetry generators, we split these solutions into different categories. This work generalises a recent result by Ibrahim [9].     

On the existence of homoclinic solutions of a class of discrete nonlinear periodic systems

In this paper, we obtain a new sufficient condition on the existence of homoclinic solutions of a class of discrete nonlinear periodic systems by using critical point theory in combination with periodic approximations. We prove that it is also necessary in some special cases.     

Applying carvalho's method to find periodic solutions of difference equations

In this paper we apply the method initially developed in [1] for differential-difference equations, to the case of difference equations, in order to find 2 and 3-periodic solutions of some equations that often appear in the literatures as are for instance the case of Applications 2,5 which are examples of population growth models, and Application 4, which is a standard example of nonlinear higher order scalar difference equation depending on two parameters (see, Kocik and Ladas [3]).     

Basic qualitative and quantitative results for solutions to nonlinear,dynamic equations on time scales with an application to economic modelling

This article investigates both basic qualitative and basic quantitative properties of solutions to first- and higher-order dynamic equations on time scales and thus provides a foundation and framework for future advanced nonlinear studies in the field. Particular focus lies in the: existence; uniqueness; dependency; approximation; and explicit representation, of solutions to nonlinear initial value problems. The main tools used are from modern areas of nonlinear analysis, including: the fixed-point theorems of Banach and Schäfer; the method of successive approximations; a novel definition of measuring distance in metric spaces and normed spaces; and a “separation” of variables technique is introduced to the general time scale setting.

Periodic and almost periodic solutions of nonlinear discrete Volterra equations with unbounded delay

The existence of periodic and almost periodic solutions of nonlinear discrete Volterra equations with unbounded delay is obtained by using stability properties of a bounded solution.     

Existence and stability of nontrivial periodic solutions of periodically forced discrete dynamical Systems

The local existence and local asymptotic stability of nontrivial p-periodic solutions of p-periodically forced discrete systems are proven using Liapunov-Schmidt methods. The periodic solutions bifurcate transcritically from the trivial solution at the critical value n=n^cr of the bifurcation parameter with a typical exchange of stability. If the trivial solution loses (gains) stability as n is increased through n^cr , then the periodic solutions on the nontrivial bifurcating branch are locally asymptotically stable if and only if they correspond to n>n^cr (n n^cr ).

Periodic solutions for a class of higher-dimension functional differential equations with impulses

By employing a fixed-point theorem in cones, we establish some criteria for existence of positive periodic solutions of a class of n$n$-dimension periodic functional differential equations with impulses. We also give some applications to several biomathematical models and new results are obtained.     

The concept of spectral dichotomy for linear difference equations II

This paper is a continuation of a previous one (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 185 (1994), 275–287) in which the concept of spectral dichotomy has been introduced. This new notion of dichotomy has proved to be useful since it allows to apply the well known theory of linear operators to study dynamic properties of nonautonomous linear difference equations. In the present paper we extend our result on the equivalence of the spectral dichotomy and the well known exponential dichotomy to the class of linear differenc equations whose right-hand sides are not necessarily invertible. We furthermore investigate equations on the set of positive integers for which we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for exponential and unifrom stability.     

Dynamic boundary value problems of the second-order: Bernstein–Nagumo conditions and solvability

This article analyzes the solvability of second-order, nonlinear dynamic boundary value problems (BVPs) on time scales. New Bernstein–Nagumo conditions are developed that guarantee an a priori bound on the delta derivative of potential solutions to the BVPs under consideration. Topological methods are then employed to gain solvability.     

Periodic solution of a delayed ratio-dependent predator–prey model with monotonic functional response and impulse

In this paper, a delayed ratio-dependent predator–prey model with monotonic functional response and impulse is investigated. By using the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, an easily verifiable sufficient condition for the existence of at least one positive periodic solution is established. In particular, our results generalize some known criteria.     

Oscillatory criteria for Third-Order difference equation with impulses
