PurposeThe aim in this paper is to investigate the dynamics of difference equation yn+1=(pyn+yn−k)/(qyn+yn−k), n=0,1,2,… where k∈{1,2,3,…}, the initial conditions y−k, … ,y−1,y0 and the parameters p and q are non‐negative.Design/methodology/approachThe paper studies characteristics such as the character of semicycles, periodicity and the global stability of the above mentioned difference equation.FindingsIn particular, the results solve the open problem introduced by Kulenovic and Ladas in their monograph, Dynamics of Second Order Rational Difference Equations with Open Problems and Conjectures.Originality/valueThe global behaviour of the solutions of equation yn+1=(pyn+yn−k)/(qyn+yn−k), n=0,1,2,… were investigated providing valuable conclusions on practical data.

Fundamental Forces

This paper presents a mathematical model that provides analytic connection between four fundamental forces (interactions), by using modified reciprocal theorem,derived in the paper, as a convenient template. The essential premise of this work is to demonstrate that if we obtain with a form of the Yukawa potential function [as a meromorphic univalent function], we may eventually obtain the Coloumb Potential as a univalent function outside of the unit disk. Finally, we introduce the new problem statement about assigning Meijer's G-functions to Yukawa and Coloumb potentials as an open problem.

The original conditions of solvability and the scheme of finding solutions of a linear Noetherian difference-algebraic boundary-value problem are proposed in the article, while the technique of pseudoinversion of matrices by Moore-Penrose is substantially used. The problem posed in the article continues to study the conditions for solvability of linear Noetherian boundary value problems given in the monographs of A.M. Samoilenko, A.V. Azbelev, V.P. Maximov, L.F. Rakhmatullina and A.A. Boichuk. The study of differential-algebraic boundary-value problems is closely related to the investigation of boundary-value problems for difference equations, initiated in the works of A.A. Markov, S.N. Bernstein, Y.S. Bezikovych, O.O. Gelfond, S.L. Sobolev, V.S. Ryabenkyi, V.B. Demidovych, A. Halanai, G.I. Marchuk, A.A. Samarskyi, Yu.A. Mytropolskyi, D.I. Martyniuk, G.M. Vainiko, A.M. Samoilenko and A.A. Boichuk. On the other hand, the study of boundary-value problems for difference equations is related to the study of differential-algebraic boundary-value problems initiated in the papers of K. Weierstrass, N.N. Lusin and F.R. Gantmacher. Systematic study of differential-algebraic boundary value problems is devoted to the works of S. Campbell, Yu.E. Boyarintsev, V.F. Chistyakov, A.M. Samoilenko, N.A. Perestiyk, V.P. Yakovets, A.A. Boichuk, A. Ilchmann and T. Reis. The study of differential-algebraic boundary value problems is also associated with numerous applications of such problems in the theory of nonlinear oscillations, in mechanics, biology, radio engineering, control theory, motion stability theory. The general case of a linear bounded operator corresponding to the homogeneous part of a linear Noetherian difference-algebraic boundary value problem has no inverse is investigated. The generalized Green operator of a linear difference-algebraic boundary value problem is constructed in the article. The relevance of the study of solvability conditions, as well as finding solutions of linear Noetherian difference-algebraic boundary-value problems, is associated with the widespread use of difference-algebraic boundary-value problems obtained by linearizing nonlinear Noetherian boundary-value problems for systems of ordinary differential and difference equations. Solvability conditions are proposed, as well as the scheme of finding solutions of linear Noetherian difference-algebraic boundary value problems are illustrated in detail in the examples.
