AbstractIn this work, we establish optimal Lyapunov-type inequalities for the second-order difference equation with p-Laplacian $$\begin{aligned} \Delta (\left| \Delta u(k-1)\right| ^{p-2}\Delta u(k-1))+a(k)\left| u(k)\right| ^{p-2}u(k)=0 \end{aligned}$$ Δ ( Δ u ( k - 1 ) p - 2 Δ u ( k - 1 ) ) + a ( k ) u ( k ) p - 2 u ( k ) = 0 with Dirichlet, Neumann, mixed, periodic and anti-periodic boundary conditions.

Abstract It is known that every solution to the second-order difference equation $x_{n}=x_{n-1}+x_{n-2}=0$ x n = x n − 1 + x n − 2 = 0 , $n\ge 2$ n ≥ 2 , can be written in the following form $x_{n}=x_{0}f_{n-1}+x_{1}f_{n}$ x n = x 0 f n − 1 + x 1 f n , where $f_{n}$ f n is the Fibonacci sequence. Here we find all the homogeneous linear difference equations with constant coefficients of any order whose general solution have a representation of a related form. We also present an interesting elementary procedure for finding a representation of general solution to any homogeneous linear difference equation with constant coefficients in terms of the coefficients of the equation, initial values, and an extension of the Fibonacci sequence. This is done for the case when all the roots of the characteristic polynomial associated with the equation are mutually different, and then it is shown that such obtained representation also holds in other cases. It is also shown that during application of the procedure the extension of the Fibonacci sequence appears naturally.

Applying Zeilberger's algorithm of creative telescoping to a family of certain very-well-poised hypergeometric series involving linear forms in Catalan's constant with rational coefficients, we obtain a second-order difference equation for these forms and their coefficients. As a consequence we derive a new way of fast calculation of Catalan's constant as well as a new continued-fraction expansion for it. Similar arguments are put forward to deduce a second-order difference equation and a new continued fraction for $\zeta(4)=\pi^4/90$.

The transformation of the N-th-order linear difference equation into a system of the first order difference equations is presented. The proposed transformation opens possibility to obtain new forms of the N-dimensional system of the first order equations that can be useful for the analysis of solutions of the N-th-order difference equations. In particular for the third-order linear difference equation the nonlinear second-order difference equation that plays the same role as the Riccati equation for second-order linear difference equation is obtained. The new form of the Ndimensional system of first order equations can also be used to find the WKB solutions of the linear difference equation with coefficients that vary slowly with index.

Consider the second order difference equation of the form$\Delta^2(y\n-py_{n-1-k})+q_nf(y_{n-\ell})=0,\quad n=1,2,3,\ldots  \hskip 1.9cm\hbox{(E)}$where $ \{q_n\}$ is a nonnegative real sequence, $ f:{\Bbb R}\rightarrow {\Bbb R}$ is continuous such that $ uf(u)>0$ for $ u\not= 0$, $ 0\le p

AbstractThe general solution of the rth inhomogeneous linear difference equation is given in the formThe coefficients , i = 2, …, r, and b(n−r)(n) can be evaluated from n values , k = 0, …, n − 1, which santisfy an rth order homogenous linear difference equation. In the rth order homogeneous case and if n ≥ 2r, the method requires the evaluation of r determinants of successive orders n − 2r + 1, n − 2r + 2, …, n − r. If r ≤ n ≤ 2r − 1, only n − r determinants are required, with orders varying from 1 to n − r. In the second order ihnomogenous case, can be evaluated from a continued fraction amd a simple product.

AbstractWe consider the second-order rational difference equation $$ {x_{n+1}=\gamma +\delta \frac{x_{n}}{x^{2}_{n-1}}}, $$xn+1=γ+δxnxn−12, where γ, δ are positive real numbers and the initial conditions $x_{-1}$x−1 and $x_{0}$x0 are positive real numbers. Boundedness along with global attractivity and Neimark–Sacker bifurcation results are established. Furthermore, we give an asymptotic approximation of the invariant curve near the equilibrium point.
