On a class of bivariate second-order linear partial difference equations and their monic orthogonal polynomial solutions

In this paper we classify the bivariate second-order linear partial difference equations, which are admissible, potentially self-adjoint, and of hypergeometric type. Using vector matrix notation, explicit expressions for the coefficients of the three-term recurrence relations satisfied by monic orthogonal polynomial solutions are obtained in terms of the coefficients of the partial difference equation. Finally, we make a compilation of the examples existing in the literature belonging to the class analyzed in this paper, namely bivariate Charlier, Meixner, Kravchuk and Hahn orthogonal polynomials.     

Almost sure polynomial asymptotic stability of stochastic difference equations

In this paper, we establish the almost sure asymptotic stability and decay results for solutions of an autonomous scalar difference equation with a nonhyperbolic equilibrium at the origin, which is perturbed by a random term with a fading state-independent intensity. In particular, we show that if the unbounded noise has tails that fade more quickly than polynomially, then the state-independent perturbation dies away at a sufficiently fast polynomial rate in time, and if the autonomous difference equation has a polynomial nonlinearity at the origin, then the almost sure polynomial rate of decay of solutions can be determined exactly. __________ Translated from Sovremennaya Matematika.

A class of convolution integral equations involving a generalized polynomial set

The aim of this paper is to derive a solution of a certain class of convolution integral equation of Fredholm type whose kernel involves a generalized polynomial set. Our main result is believed to be general and unified in nature. A number of (known or new) results follow as special cases, simply by specializing the coefficients and parameters involved in the generalized polynomial set. For the sake of illustration, some special cases are mentioned briefly.     

Laguerre polynomial approach for solving linear delay difference equations

This paper presents a numerical method for the approximate solution of mth-order linear delay difference equations with variable coefficients under the mixed conditions in terms of Laguerre polynomials. The aim of this article is to present an efficient numerical procedure for solving mth-order linear delay difference equations with variable coefficients. Our method depends mainly on a Laguerre series expansion approach. This method transforms linear delay difference equations and the given conditions into matrix equation which corresponds to a system of linear algebraic equation. The reliability and efficiency of the proposed scheme are demonstrated by some numerical experiments and performed on the computer algebraic system Maple.

On a class of impulsive functional-differential equations with nonatomic difference operator

We establish conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of nonlinear functional-differential equations with impulsive action in a Banach space. The equation under consideration is not solved for the derivative. It is assumed that the characteristic operator pencil corresponding to the linear part of the equation satisfies a constraint of parabolic type in the right half-plane. Applications to partial functional-differential equations not of Kovalevskaya type are considered.

A class of difference ABS-type algorithms for a nonlinear system of equations

In this paper we give a class of algorithms for solving nonlinear algebraic equations using difference approximations of derivatives. The class is a modification of the original ABS class with the advantage of requiring less function evaluations. Special cases include the methods of Brown and Brent and the discretized Newton method, which is formulated in a way requiring fewer function evaluations per iteration.
