Dichotomy spectrum for difference equations in Banach spaces

In this paper, we study the structure and properties of the dichotomy spectrum for linear difference equations in Banach spaces avoiding the commonly made assumption of having a compact flow. In this situation, any compact subset of the positive-half line may occur as a dichotomy spectrum. To overcome this difficulty, we introduce the upper and lower dichotomy index by means of a measure of noncompactness. It allows to decompose the dichotomy spectrum into the upper, essential and lower dichotomy spectrum. The main result is a Spectral Theorem which describes all possible cases of the upper and lower dichotomy spectrum and yields a “nonautonomous linear algebra” appropriate also for systems in the absence of Lyapunov regularity. Furthermore, we give explicit examples of difference equations to illustrate the different cases of the Spectral Theorem and to underline that a new form of the spectrum not present in the literature can occur. Finally, we indicate applications to nonlinear difference equations and the continuous time situation.     

Input-output admissibility and exponential trichotomy of difference equations

We propose a new method for the study of the asymptotic behavior of difference equations in infinite-dimensional spaces, providing characterizations for the property of uniform exponential trichotomy. We deduce the structure of the stable, unstable and bounded subspace and prove the uniqueness of the projection families. We introduce a new admissibility concept with respect to a discrete input-output system and prove that this is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of uniform exponential trichotomy. Throughout the paper, there is no assumption on the coefficients and the obtained results are applicable to any class of difference equations.     

A trichotomy result for non-autonomous rational difference equations

We study non-autonomous rational difference equations. Under the assumption of a periodic non-autonomous parameter, we show that a well known trichotomy result in the autonomous case is preserved in a certain sense which is made precise in the body of the text. In addition we discuss some questions regarding whether periodicity preserves or destroys boundedness.     

Exponential dichotomy and dichotomy radius for difference equations

The aim of this paper is to provide a new approach concerning the characterization of exponential dichotomy of difference equations by means of admissible pair of sequence spaces. We classify the classes of input and output spaces, respectively, and deduce necessary and sufficient conditions for exponential dichotomy applicable for a large variety of systems. By an example we show that the obtained results are the most general in this topic. As an application we deduce a general lower bound for the dichotomy radius of difference equations in terms of input-output operators acting on sequence spaces which are invariant under translations.     

Asyptotics for linear difference equations I:basic theory

We present here a unified treatment of asymptotic theory of linear difference equations. This is based on anadapted theory of discrete dichotomy. The obtained results narrow the gap between Poincarés Theorem and (the discrete analoue of) Levinson's Theorem.     

On asymptotic equivalence of perturbed linear systems of differential and difference equations

Standard results on asymptotic integration of systems of linear differential equations give sufficient conditions which imply that a system is strongly asymptotically equivalent to its principal diagonal part. These involve certain dichotomy conditions on the diagonal part as well as growth conditions on the off-diagonal perturbation terms. Here, we study perturbations with a triangularly-induced structure and see that growth conditions can be substantially weakened. In addition, we give results for not necessarily triangular perturbations which in some sense “interpolate” between the classical theorems of Levinson and Hartman-Wintner. Some analogous results for systems of linear difference equations are also given.     

Asymptotic solutions and error estimates for linear systems of difference and differential equations

Classical results concerning the asymptotic behavior solutions of systems of linear differential or difference equations lead to formulas containing factors that are asymptotically constant, i.e., k+o(1) as t tends to infinity. Here we are interested in more precise information about the o(1) terms, specifically how they depend precisely on certain perturbation terms in the equation. Results along these lines were given by Gel'fond and Kubenskaya for scalar difference equations and we will both extend and generalize one of them as well as provide some corresponding results for differential equations.     

Numerical verification of solutions for nonlinear hyperbolic equations

We consider a numerical method to verify the solutions for nonlinear hyperbolic problems with guaranteed error bounds in the one-space dimensional case. We present verification procedures and show some numerical examples.     

Stability in totally nonlinear delay difference equations

In this paper we use fixed point method to prove asymptotic stability results of the zero solution of a nonlinear delay difference equation. An asymptotic stability theorem with a sufficient condition is proved, which improves and generalizes some results due to Raffoul (2006) \cite{r1}, Yankson (2009) \cite{y1}, Jin and Luo (2009) \cite{jin} and Chen (2013) \cite{c}     

Modified classification of non-self-adjoint second-order difference equations

This paper is concerned with the classification of non-self-adjoint second-order difference equations. The relationship between the number of summable solutions of non-self-adjoint difference equations and that of the discrete linear Hamiltonian system is discussed. A classification for non-self-adjoint second-order difference equations is established, which is independent of the choice of the rotated half plane and the fixed point.

Stability and asymptoticity of Volterra difference equations: A progress report

We survey some of the fundamental results on the stability and asymptoticity of linear Volterra difference equations. The method of Z$Z$-transform is heavily utilized in equations of convolution type. An example is given to show that uniform asymptotic stability does not necessarily imply exponential stabilty. It is shown that the two notions are equivalent if the kernel decays exponentially. For equations of nonconvolution type, Liapunov functions are used to find explicit criteria for stability. Moreover, the resolvent matrix is defined to produce a variation of constants formula. The study of asymptotic equivalence for difference equations with infinite delay is carried out in Section 6. Finally, we state some problems.     

Global stability and asymptotics of some classes of rational difference equations

In this note we prove that the positive solutions of some classes of rational difference equations are globally asymptotically stable. Using a Berg's result, we also find asymptotics of some solutions of these equations.
