On the difference equationx_{n + 1} = \alpha + \frac{{x_n^p }}{{x_{n - 1}^p }}

We study, firstly, the dynamics of the difference equation $x_{n + 1} = \alpha + \frac{{x_n^p }}{{x_{n - 1}^p }}$ , withp ∈ (0,1) and α∈ [0, ∞). Then, we generalize our results to the (k + 1)th order difference equation $x_{n + 1} = \alpha + \frac{{x_n^p }}{{x_{n - k}^p }}$ ,k = 2, 3,... with positive initial conditions.

Our aim in this paper is to investigate the global attractivity of the recursive sequence $$x_{n + 1} = \frac{{\alpha - \beta x_{n - k} }}{{\gamma + x_n }},$$ where α, β, γ >0 andk=1,2,… We show that the positive equilibrium point of the equation is a global attractor with a basin that depends on certain conditions posed on the coefficients.

On asymptotic behaviour of the difference equationX_{N + 1} = \alpha + \frac{{X_{N - 1} ^P }}{{X_N ^P }}

In this paper, we investigate local stability, oscillation and boundeness character of positive solutions of the difference equation $$x_{n + 1} = \alpha + \frac{{x_{n - 1} ^p }}{{x_n ^p }},n = 0,1,...$$ under specified conditions.

On the continued fraction \frac{1 |}{| z } +\frac{1 |}{| 1 } + \frac{2 |}{| z } +\frac{3 |}{| 1 } + \frac{4 |}{| z} + \cdots

The article on hand deals with the continued fraction $$\frac{1 |}{| z } +\frac{1 |}{| 1 } + \frac{2 |}{| z } +\frac{3 |}{| 1 } + \frac{4 |}{| z} + \cdots.$$ The famous Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan has given a pre-presentation by a power series, but he however concealed a proof. Subsequently a proof has been established, but a direct verification is intricate. Here we give a quick and direct approach with comparitively little effort.     

Dynamics of the max-type difference equation x_{n}=\max\{\frac{ 1}{ x_{n-m}} , \frac{A_{n} }{x_{n-r} }\}

In this paper, we study the periodicity, the boundedness and the convergence of the following max-type difference equation $$x_n =\max\biggl\{\frac{ 1}{ x_{n-m}} , \frac{A_n }{x_{n-r} }\biggr \},\quad n =0, 1,2,\ldots,$$ where $\{A_{n}\}^{+\infty}_{n=0}$ is a periodic sequence with period k and A _n ??(0,1) for every n??0, m??{1,2} and r??{2,3,??} with m<r, the initial values x _?r ,??,x _?1??(0,+??). The special case when $m = 1, r = 2, \{A_{n}\}^{+\infty}_{ n=0}$ is a periodic sequence with period k and A _n ??(0,1) for every n??0 has been completely investigated by Y.?Chen. Here we extend his results to the general case.

On the difference equationx_{n + 1} = \frac{{a + bx_{n - k} - cx_{n - m} }}{{1 + g(x_{n - 1} )}}

In this paper we consider the difference equation $$x_{n + 1} = \frac{{a + bx_{n - k} - cx_{n - m} }}{{1 + g(x_{n - 1} )}},$$ wherea, b, c are nonegative real numbers,k, l, m are nonnegative integers andg(x) is a nonegative real function. The oscillatory and periodic character, the boundedness and the stability of positive solutions of the equation is investigated. The existence and nonexistence of two-period positive solutions are investigated in details. In the last section of the paper we consider a generalization of the equation.     

Inequalities for the Volume of the Unit Ball in {\mathbb{R}^{n}}

The volume of the unit ball in ${\mathbb{R}^{n}}$ is defined by $$\Omega_{n} = \frac{\pi^{n/2}}{\Gamma(n/2+1)},\qquad n = 1,2,3,\ldots,$$ where Γ denotes the classical gamma function of Euler. In several recently published papers numerous authors studied properties of Ω _n . In particular, various inequalities involving Ω _n are given in the literature. In this paper, we continue the work on this subject and offer new inequalities. More precisely, we offer sharp upper and lower bounds for $$\frac{\Omega_{n}^{2}}{\Omega_{n-1} \Omega_{n+1}},\quad\frac{\Omega_{n}}{\Omega_{n-1}+\Omega_{n+1}} \quad {\rm and} \quad\Omega_{n}.$$

Removable singular sets for equations of the form\sum {\tfrac{\partial }{{\partial x_i }}a_{ij} (x)\tfrac{{\partial u}}{{\partial x_j }} = f(x,u,\nabla u)}

The following uniformly elliptic equation is considered: $$\sum {\tfrac{\partial }{{\partial x_i }}a_{ij} (x)\tfrac{{\partial u}}{{\partial x_j }} = f(x,u,\nabla u)} , x \in \Omega \subset R^n ,$$ with measurable coefficients. The function f satisfies the condition $$f(x, u, \nabla u) u \geqslant C|u|^{\beta _1 + 1} |\nabla u|^{\beta _1 } , \beta _1 > 0, 0 \leqslant \beta _2 \leqslant 2, \beta _1 + \beta _2 > 1$$ . It is proved that if u(x) is a generalized (in the sense of integral identity) solution in the domain ΩK, where the compactum K has Hausdorff dimension α, and if \(\frac{{2\beta _1 + \beta _2 }}{{\beta _1 + \beta _2 - 1}}< n - \alpha \) , u(x) will be a generalized solution in the domain ω. Moreover, the sufficient removability conditions for the singular set are, in some sense, close to the necessary conditions.     

Scattering of wave maps from {{\mathbb {R}^{2+1}}} to general targets

We show that smooth, radially symmetric wave maps U from ${\mathbb {R}^{2+1}}$ to a compact target manifold (N, where ? _r U and ? _t U have compact support for any fixed time, scatter. The result will follow from the work of Christodoulou and Tahvildar-Zadeh, and Struwe, upon proving that for ${(\lambda^{\prime} \in (0,1),}$ energy does not concentrate in the set $$K_{\frac{5}{8}T,\frac{7}{8}T}^{\lambda^{\prime}} = \{(x,t) \in \mathbb{R}^{2+1} \vert \quad|x| \leq \lambda^{\prime} t, t \in [(5/8)T,(7/8)T] \}.$$      

On the Diophantine equation \dfrac{ax^{n+2l}+c}{abt^{2}x^{n}+c}{\displaystyle\frac{ax^{n+2l}+c}{abt^{2}x^{n}+c}}=by^{2}

We obtain all solutions of the equation $\frac{ax^{n+2l}+c}{abt^{2}x^{n}+c} = by^{2}$ with c??{??1,??2,??4}.     

On the simultaneous Diophantine equations $$ m \cdot (x_1^k+x_2^k+ \cdots + x_{t_1}^k)=n \cdot (y_1^k+y_2^k+ \cdots y_{t_2}^k)$$; $$k=1,3$$k=1,3

In this paper, we solve the simultaneous Diophantine equations \(m \cdot ( x_{1}^k+ x_{2}^k +\cdots + x_{t_1}^k)=n \cdot (y_{1}^k+ y_{2}^k +\cdots + y_{t_2}^k )\), \(k=1,3\), where \( t_1, t_2\ge 3\), and m, n are fixed arbitrary and relatively prime positive integers. This is done by choosing two appropriate trivial parametric solutions and obtaining infinitely many nontrivial parametric solutions. Also we work out some examples, in particular the Diophantine systems of \(A^k+B^k+C^k=D^k+E^k\), \(k=1,3\).
