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.     

Global stability of some symmetric difference equations

Suppose r∈(0,1],m∈N and 1?k₁<k₂<?<k_2m+1, and let S_2m+1={1,2,…,2m+1}. We show that every positive solution to the difference equation

     

Exponential type functional equation and its Hyers-Ulam stability

We give the solution of the functional equation f(x+y)+λf(x)f(y)=Φ(x,y) under some conditions. Also we show its Hyers-Ulam stability.

Consider the following nonlinear difference equation with variable coefficients:

     

Hyers-Ulam stability of linear differential equations of first order, III

Let X be a complex Banach space and let I=(a,b) be an open interval. In this paper, we will prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the differential equation ty^′(t)+αy(t)+βtrx₀=0 for the class of continuously differentiable functions , where α, β and r are complex constants and x₀ is an element of X. By applying this result, we also prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the Euler differential equation of second order.     

Global stability of some classes of higher-order nonlinear difference equations

We give elegant and short proofs of some recent results on global stability of some classes of higher-order nonlinear difference equations.     

A fixed point approach to stability of functional equations

We prove a simple fixed point theorem for some (not necessarily linear) operators and derive from it several quite general results on the stability of a very wide class of functional equations in single variable.     

Ulam‐Hyers stability of Caputo fractional difference equations

We study the Ulam‐Hyers stability of linear and nonlinear nabla fractional Caputo difference equations on finite intervals. Our main tool used is a recently established generalized Gronwall inequality, which allows us to give some Ulam‐Hyers stability results of discrete fractional Caputo equations. We present two examples to illustrate our main results.     

The stability of d'Alembert and Jensen type functional equations

The aim of this paper is to study the stability problem of the d'Alembert type and Jensen type functional equations:

f(x+y)+f(x+σy)=2g(x)f(y),     

On the stability of nonautonomous difference equations

In this paper, we obtain new sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability and instability of equilibrium points of the nonautonomous higher order difference equations by means of weak contractions and weak expansions.     

New global stability conditions for a class of difference equations

In this paper we consider some classes of difference equations, including the well-known Clark model, and study the stability of their solutions. In order to do that we introduce a property, namely semicontractivity, and study relations between ‘semi-contractive’ functions and sufficient conditions for the solution of the difference equation to be globally asymptotically stable. Moreover, we establish new sufficient conditions for the solution to be globally asymptotically stable, and we improve the ‘3/2 criteria’ type stability conditions.      

On the stability of a quartic functional equation

In this paper, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability for the following quartic functional equation

f(2x+y)+f(2x−y)=4f(x+y)+4f(x−y)+24f(x)−6f(y).     

Stability of nonautonomous difference equations with several delays

We consider the possibility to construct efficient stability criteria for solutions to difference equations with variable coefficients. We prove that one can associate a difference equation with a certain functional differential equation, whose solution has the same asymptotic behavior. We adduce examples, demonstrating the essential character of conditions of the obtained theorems and the exactness of the constant 3/2 which defines the boundary of the stability domain.     

A note on some piecewise-linear difference equations with Mersenne-type periodic solutions

This paper studies solutions of some piecewise-linear difference equations. In two particular cases, a descent argument is used to show that all solutions are periodic with either prime period 3(2 ^k  ? 1) or 6(2 ^k  ? 1) for some k ≥ 1. The existence of solutions with such periods is also considered.
