This paper is concerned with nonlinear difference equations of the formwhere δ is the forward difference operator defined by δun−1 = un − un −1 δ2un −1= δ(δun-1) and {an} is a real sequence which is not assumed to be nonnegative. The function f is such that uf(u) < 0 for all u ≠ 0 and f(u) − f(v) = g(u, v)(u − v), for all u, v ≠ 0, and for some nonnegative function g. Our results are not only new but also improve and generalise some recent oscillation criteria. Examples illustrating the importance of our main results are also given.

In this paper we shall consider a class of second-order nonlinear difference equations with a negative neutral term. Some new oscillation criteria are obtained via Riccati transformation technique. These criteria improve and modify the existing results mentioned in the literature. Some examples are given to show the applicability and significance of the main results.

SynopsisIn this paper, I shall consider operators generated by difference equations of the formwhere Δ is the forward difference operator, and a, p, and r are sequences of real numbers. The connection between the oscillation constant of this equation and the bottom of the essential spectrum of self-adjoint extensions of the operator generated by the equation is given, as well as various other information about the spectrum of such extensions. In particular, I derive conditions for the spectrum to have only countably many eigenvalues below zero, and a simple criterion for the invariance of the essential spectrum.

Abstract Using the Riccati transformation techniques, we establish some new oscillation criteria for the second-order nonlinear difference equation Some comparison between our theorems and the previously known results in special cases are indicated. Some examples are given to illustrate the relevance of our results.

This article, is concerned with finding sufficient conditions for the oscillation and non oscillation of the solutions of a second order neutral difference equation with multiple delays under the forward difference operator, which generalize and extend some existing results.This could be possible by extending an important lemma from the literature.

In this paper we are dealing with oscillatory and asymptotic behaviour of solutions of second order nonlinear difference equations of the formSome sufficient conditions for all solutions of (E) to be oscillatory are obtained. Asymptotic behaviour of nonoscillatory solutions of (E) is considered also.
