EXISTENCE OF PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF SYSTEM OF DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS

This paper studies the nonautonomous nonlinear system of difference equationsΔx(n)=A(n)x(n)+f(n,x(n)),n∈Z,(*) where x(n)∈R~N,A(n)=(a_(ij)(n))N×N is an N×N matrix,with a-(ij)∈C(R,R) for i,j= 1,2,3,...,N,and f=(f_1,f_2,...,f_N)~T∈C(R×R~N,R~N),satisfying A(t+ω)=A(t),f(t+ω,z)=f(t,z) for any t∈R,(t,z)∈R×R~N andωis a positive integer.Sufficient conditions for the existence ofω-periodic solutions to equations (*) are obtained.     

Global periodicity and complete integrability of discrete dynamical systems

Consider the discrete dynamical system generated by a map F. It is said that it is globally periodic if there exists a natural number p such that F ^p (x)=x for all x in the phase space. On the other hand, it is called completely integrable if it has as many functionally independent first integrals as the dimension of the phase space. In this paper, we relate both concepts. We also give a large list of globally periodic dynamical systems together with a complete set of their first integrals, emphasizing the ones coming from difference equations.     

Centers with degenerate infinity and their commutators

We study polynomial systems with degeneracy at infinity and a center-focus equilibrium at the origin. We give some general properties related to the existence of polynomial commutators and use these properties in order to characterize uniformly isochronous polynomial centers with polynomial commutator and, also, we show that the commutator of the centers of the analytic systems whose angular speed is constant can be chosen of radial form. Finally, we characterize the systems (−y+P_s+∑_j=kⁿ⁻¹xH_j,x+Q_s+∑_j=kⁿ⁻¹yH_j)^t with polynomial commutator, with P_j,Q_j,H_j and K_j homogeneous polynomials.     

New evolution PDEs with many isochronous solutions

Certain nonlinear evolution PDEs in 1+1 variables (time and space) are identified, featuring a positive parameter ω and evolving, for a large class of initial data, periodically with the fixed period T=2π/ω (or perhaps with p a small integer). They are autonomous (i.e., they do not feature any explicit dependence on the time variable), but they generally (although not quite all of them) depend explicitly on the space variable hence are not translation-invariant. They are integrable, having been obtained by applying an appropriate change of dependent and independent variables to certain nonlinear evolution PDEs whose integrable character has been recently ascertained. Solutions of some of these PDEs are exhibited.     

Almost periodic transformable difference systems

We analyse almost periodic homogeneous linear difference systems whose coefficient matrices belong to the so-called transformable groups. We introduce the notion of weakly transformable groups and we use this notion to obtain generalizations of known results about non-almost periodic solutions of considered systems.     

Almost periodic homogeneous linear difference systems without almost periodic solutions

Almost periodic homogeneous linear difference systems are considered. It is supposed that the coefficient matrices belong to a group. The aim was to find such groups that the systems having no non-trivial almost periodic solution form a dense subset of the set of all considered systems. A closer examination of the used methods reveals that the problem can be treated in such a generality that the entries of coefficient matrices are allowed to belong to any complete metric field. The concepts of transformable and strongly transformable groups of matrices are introduced, and these concepts enable us to derive efficient conditions for determining what matrix groups have the required property.

Asymptotically almost periodic solutions of nonlinear Volterra difference equations with unbounded delay

The existence of almost periodic solutions of nonlinear Volterra difference equations with unbounded delay is obtained by using uniform stability properties of a bounded solution. An example is also given to illustrate obtained results.     

Almost periodic random sequences in probability

In this paper almost periodic random sequence in probability is defined and investigated. It is also applied to random difference equations by means of exponential dichotomy. The existence of such kind of solutions of random difference equations is discussed.     

Solving the linear difference equation with periodic coefficients via Fibonacci sequences

ABSTRACT

The aim of this paper is to establish explicit solutions of homogeneous linear difference equations with periodic coefficients. For this purpose, we get around the problem by converting each equation of this class to an equivalent linear difference equation with constant coefficients. Second, we provide some expressions of the solutions via the combinatorial and the Binet formulas of weighted generalized Fibonacci sequences. Finally, some numerical examples and applications are proposed.     

一类差分系统周期解的存在性

This paper studies the nonautonomous nonlinear system of difference equations △x(n) = A(n)x(n) f(n, x(n)), n ∈ Z, (*)where x(n) ∈ RN,A(n) = (aij(n))N×N is an N × N matrix, with aij∈ C(R,R) for i,j =ω, z) = f(t, z) for any t ∈ R, (t, z) ∈ R × RN and ω is a positive integer. Sufficient conditions for the existence of ω-periodic solutions to equations (*) are obtained.     

Positive periodic solutions for impulsive differential equations with infinite delay and applications to integro-differential equations

Sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one positive periodic solution are established for a family of scalar periodic differential equations with infinite delay and nonlinear impulses. Our criteria, obtained by applying a fixed-point argument to an original operator constructed here, allow to treat equations incorporating a rather general nonlinearity and impulses whose signs may vary. Applications to some classes of Volterra integro-differential equations with unbounded or periodic delay and nonlinear impulses are given, extending and improving results in the literature.     

Existence and uniqueness of pseudo almost periodic solutions to some abstract partial neutral functional-differential equations and applications

The paper considers the existence and uniqueness of pseudo almost periodic (mild) solutions to some classes of first-order partial neutral functional-differential equations. Upon making some suitable assumptions, existence and uniqueness results are obtained. Applications include both a partial integro-differential equation arising in control systems and the scalar reaction-diffusion equation with delay.     

Persistence and periodic orbits for two-species nonautonomous diffusion lotka-volterra models

This paper considers a competing system in which one of two species can diffuse between two patches, while the other is confined to one patch and cannot diffuse. It is proved that the system can be made persistent under some appropriate conditions even if the competitive patch is not persistent without diffusion. Further, if the system is a periodic system, it can have a strictly positive periodic orbit which is globally asymptotically stable under the appropriate conditions.     

Population models in almost periodic environments

We establish the basic theory of almost periodic sequences on ?₊. Dichotomy techniques are then utilized to find sufficient conditions for the existence of a globally attracting almost periodic solution of a semilinear system of difference equations. These existence results are, subsequently, applied to discretely reproducing populations with and without overlapping generations. Furthermore, we access evidence for attenuance and resonance in almost periodically forced population models.     

Two‐dimensional solvable system of difference equations with periodic coefficients

We show that the following two‐dimensional system of difference equations: where , , , and are periodic sequences, is solvable, considerably extending some results in the literature. In the case when all these four sequences are periodic with period 2 or with period 3, we present closed‐form formulas for the general solutions to the corresponding systems of difference equations. Some comments regarding theoretical and practical solvability of the system, connected to the value of the period of the sequences, are given.
