Forbidden sets and stability in some rational difference equations

In this paper, we solve open problem (5) submitted by Sedaghat in his paper, On third order rational difference equations with quadratic terms, J. Differ. Equ. Appl., 14(8) (2008), pp. 889–897. We also confirm conjecture (6) in the mentioned paper.     

Difference operators,Green's matrix,sampling theory and applications in signal processing

This paper introduces sampling representations for discrete signals arising from self adjoint difference operators with mixed boundary conditions. The theory of linear operators on finite-dimensional inner product spaces is employed to study the second-order difference operators. We give necessary and sufficient conditions that make the operators self adjoint. The equivalence between the difference operator and a Hermitian Green's matrix is established. Sampling theorems are derived for discrete transforms associated with the difference operator. The results are exhibited via illustrative examples, involving sampling representations for the discrete Hartley transform. Families of discrete fractional Fourier-type transforms are introduced with an application to image encryption.     

Dynamics of a higher-order rational difference equation

We consider a higher order rational difference equation. Firstly, we skillfully give a sufficient and necessary condition for the existence and uniqueness of the initial value problem. And then we investigate the local stability, asymptotic behavior, periodicity and oscillation of solutions for the difference equation. Finally, we give some numerical simulations to illustrate our results.

Generalized vector-valued paranormed sequence space using modulus function

In this paper we introduce a generalized vector-valued paranormed sequence space N_p(E_k,Δ^m,f,s) using modulus function f, where p=(p_k) is a bounded sequence of positive real numbers such that inf_kp_k>0,(E_k,q_k) is a sequence of seminormed spaces with E_k+1⊆E_k for each k ∈ N and s?0. We have also studied sequence space N_p(E_k,Δ^m,f^r,s), where f^r=f°f°f°,…,f (r-times composition of f with itself) and r∈N={1,2,3,…}. Results regarding completeness, K-space, normality, inclusion relations etc. are derived. Further, a study of multiplier of the set N_p(E_k,f,s) is also made by choosing (E_k,‖·‖_k) as sequence of normed algebras.     

Quartic spline methods for solving one-dimensional telegraphic equations

In this paper, by using a quartic spline in space and generalized trapezoidal formula in time direction, one-dimensional telegraphic equations are solved. We present new classes of two-level schemes. The accuracy of these methods are O(k²+h⁴). It has been shown that by suitably choosing parameter, a high accuracy scheme of O(k³+h⁴) can be derived from our methods. Numerical results demonstrate the superiority of the new scheme.
