We derive several sufficient conditions for monotonicity of eventually positive solutions on a class of second order perturbed nonlinear difference equation. Furthermore, we obtain a few nonexistence criteria for eventually positive monotone solutions of this equation. Examples are provided to illustrate our main results.

We consider the nonlinear difference equationxn+1=f(xn−k,xn−k+1,…,xn),n=0,1,…,wherek∈{1,2,…}and the initial valuesx−k,x−k+1,…,x0∈(0,+∞). We give sufficient conditions under which this equation has monotone positive solutions which converge to the equilibrium, extending and including in this way some results of the literature.

We investigate the periodic character of solutions of the nonlinear difference equationxn+1=−1/xn+A/xn−1. We give sufficient conditions under which every positive solution of this equation converges to a period two solution. This confirms a conjecture in the work of DeVault et al. (2000).


In this paper, the authors obtained some new sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all solutions of the fourth order nonlinear difference equation of the form ( ) ( 1 ) 0 3  anxn  pnxn  qn f xn  n = 0,1,2, … ., where an, pn, qn positive sequences. The established results extend, unify and improve some of the results reported in the literature. Examples are provided to illustrate the main result.

Abstract In this article we obtain sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all solutions of the higher-order delay difference equation Δ m ( y n − ∑ j = 1 k p n j y n − m j ) + v n G ( y σ ( n ) ) − u n H ( y α ( n ) ) = f n , $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \Delta^{m}\big(y_n-\sum_{j=1}^k p_n^j y_{n-m_j}\big) + v_nG(y_{\sigma(n)})-u_nH(y_{\alpha(n)})=f_n\,, \end{array}$$ where m is a positive integer and Δ xn = x n+1 − xn . Also we obtain necessary conditions for a particular case of the above equation. We illustrate our results with examples for which it seems no result in the literature can be applied.

We investigate the local stability, prime period-two solutions, boundedness, invariant intervals, and global attractivity of all positive solutions of the following difference equation: , , where the parameters and the initial conditions . We show that the unique positive equilibrium of this equation is a global attractor under certain conditions.

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for (some or all) positive solutions of the half-linearq-difference equationDq(Φ(Dqy(t)))+p(t)Φ(y(qt))=0,t∈{qk:k∈N0}withq>1,Φ(u)=|u|α−1sgn⁡uwithα>1, to behave likeq-regularly varying orq-rapidly varying orq-regularly bounded functions (that is, the functionsy, for which a special limit behavior ofy(qt)/y(t)ast→∞is prescribed). A thorough discussion on such an asymptotic behavior of solutions is provided. Related Kneser type criteria are presented.

We study the existence of zero-convergent solutions for the second-order nonlinear difference equationΔ(anΦp(Δxn))=g(n,xn+1), whereΦp(u)=|u|p−2u,p>1,{an}is a positive real sequence forn≥1, andgis a positive continuous function onℕ×(0,u0),0<u0≤∞. The effects of singular nonlinearities and of the forcing term are treated as well.
