Uncountably many bounded positive solutions for a second order nonlinear neutral delay partial difference equation

In this paper we consider the second order nonlinear neutral delay partial difference equation $Delta_nDelta_mbig(x_{m,n}+a_{m,n}x_{m-k,n-l}big)+ fbig(m,n,x_{m-tau,n-sigma}big)=b_{m,n}, mgeq m_{0},, ngeq n_{0}.$Under suitable conditions, by making use of the Banach fixed point theorem, we show the existence of uncountably many bounded positive solutions for the above partial difference equation...

Periodic solutions for nonlinear second-order difference equations

We establish conditions for the existence of periodic solutions of nonlinear, second-order difference equations of the form y(t + 2) + by(t + 1) + cy(t) = f (y(t)), where c = 0 and f :R→ R is continuous. In our main result we assume that f exhibits sublinear growth and that there is a constant β > 0 such that u f (u) > 0 whenever |u| ≥ β. For such an equation we prove that ifN is an odd integer...

POSITIVE PERIODIC SOLUTIONS FOR HIGHER-ORDER FUNCTIONAL q-DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS

In this paper, using the recently introduced concept of periodic functions in quantum calculus, we study the existence of positive periodic solutions of a certain higher-order functional q-difference equation. Just as for the well-known continuous and discrete versions, we use a fixed point theorem in a cone in order to establish the existence of a positive periodic solution. This paper is dedi...
