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.     

On the global periodicity of discrete dynamical systems and application to rational difference equations

A new necessary condition for global periodicity of discrete dynamical systems and of difference equations is obtained here. This condition will be applied to contribute to solving the problem of global periodicity for second order rational difference equations.     

Affine-periodic solutions for discrete dynamical systems

The paper concerns the existence of affine-periodic solutions for discrete dynamicalsystems. This kind of solutions might be periodic, harmonic, quasi-periodic, even non-periodic.We prove the existence of affine-periodic solutions for discrete dynamical systems by using thetheory of Brouwer degree. As applications, another existence theorem is given via Lyapnovfunction.     

On asympotic behavior of solutions to several classes of discrete dynamical systems

In this paper, a new complete and simplified proof for the Husainov-Nikiforova Theorem is given. Then this theorem is generalized to the case where the coefficients may have different signs as well as nonlinear systems. By these results, the robust stability and the bound for robustness for high-order interval discrete dynamical systems are studied, which can be applied to designing stable discrete control system as well as stabilizing a given unstable control system.     

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.     

Fundamental solutions for discrete dynamical systems involving the fractional Laplacian

We prove representation results for solutions of a time‐fractional differential equation involving the discrete fractional Laplace operator in terms of generalized Wright functions. Such equations arise in the modeling of many physical systems, for example, chain processes in chemistry and radioactivity. Our focus is in the problem , where 0<β ≤ 2, 0<α ≤ 1, , (?Δ_d)^α is the discrete fractional Laplacian, and is the Caputo fractional derivative of order β. We discuss important special cases as consequences of the representations obtained.     

On stability and stabilization of some discrete dynamical systems

The paper formulates effective and nonimprovable stability conditions for a linear difference system involving 2 integer delays. The used technique combines algorithm of the discrete D‐decomposition method with some procedures of the polynomial theory. Contrary to the related existing results, the derived conditions are fully explicit with respect to both delays, which enables their simple applicability in various scientific and engineering areas. As an illustration, we show their importance in delayed feedback controls of discrete dynamical systems, with a particular emphasis put on stabilization of unstable steady states of the discrete logistic map.     

Positive solutions for systems of nonlinear discrete boundary value problems

Existence of eigenvalues yielding positive solutions for systems of second order discrete boundary value problems (two-point, three-point and generalized three-point) are established. The results are obtained by the use of a Guo–Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem in cones.     

Spectral decomposition theorem in equicontinuous nonautonomous discrete dynamical systems

In this paper, we define the notion of weak chain recurrence and study properties of weak chain recurrent sets in a nonautonomous discrete dynamical system induced by a sequence of homeomorphisms on a compact metric space. Our main result is the Smale’s spectral decomposition theorem in an equicontinuous nonautonomous discrete dynamical system.     

Asymptotic periodicity of nonlinear discrete Volterra equations and applications

Sufficient conditions for the asymptotic periodicity of solutions of nonlinear discrete Volterra equations of Hammerstein type are obtained. Such results are applied to analyze the property of a class of numerical methods to preserve the asymptotic periodicity of the analytical solution of Volterra integral equations.     

Multiple solutions for partial discrete Dirichlet problems depending on a real parameter

In this paper we establish the existence of multiple solutions for a partial discrete Dirichlet problem depending on a real parameter. More precisely, under appropriate assumptions on the nonlinearities, we determine exact collections of parameters such that the treated problems admit at least three solutions.     

Computation of periodic solutions in maximal monotone dynamical systems with guaranteed consistency

In this paper, we study a class of set-valued dynamical systems that satisfy maximal monotonicity properties. This class includes linear relay systems, linear complementarity systems, and linear mechanical systems with dry friction under some conditions. We discuss two numerical schemes based on time-stepping methods for the computation of the periodic solutions when these systems are periodically excited. We provide formal mathematical justifications for the numerical schemes in the sense of consistency, which means that the continuous-time interpolations of the numerical solutions converge to the continuous-time periodic solution when the discretization step vanishes. The two time-stepping methods are applied for the computation of the periodic solution exhibited by a power electronic converter and the corresponding methods are compared in terms of approximation accuracy and computation time.

Global fractional-order projective dynamical systems

This paper studies a class of global fractional-order projective dynamical systems. First, we show the existence and uniqueness of the solution of this type of system. Then, the existence of the equilibrium point of this class of dynamical systems is obtained. Further more, we obtain the α-exponential stability of the equilibrium point under suitable conditions. In addition, we use a predictor–corrector algorithm to find a solution to this kind of system. Finally a numerical example is provided to illustrate the results obtained in this paper.
