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.

Consider the difference equationxn+1=f(xn,…,xn−k),n=0,1,…,wherek∈{1,2,…}and the initial conditions are real numbers. We investigate the existence and nonexistence of the minimal period-two solution of this equation when it can be rewritten as the nonautonomous linear equationxn+l=∑i=1−lkgixn−i,n=0,1,…,wherel,k∈{1,2,…}and the functionsgi:ℝk+l→ℝ. We give some necessary and sufficient conditions for the equation to have a minimal period-two solution whenl=1.

In this paper, we address the difference equation xn=pxn-s+xn-t/q+xn-t n=0,1,... with positive initial conditions where s, t are distinct nonnegative integers, p, q > 0. Our results not only include some previously known results, but apply to some difference equations that have not been investigated so far.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to build a linear time-varying discrete Verhulst model (LTDVM), to realise the convert from continuous forms to discrete forms, and to eliminate traditional grey Verhulst model's error caused by difference equations directly jumping to differential equations. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology of the paper is by the light of discrete thoughts and countdown to the original data sequence. Findings – The research of this model manifests that LTDVM is unbiased on the “s” sequential simulation. Practical implications – The example analysis shows that LTDVM embodies simulation and prediction with high precision. Originality/value – This paper is to realise the convert from continuous forms to discrete forms, and to eliminate traditional grey Verhulst model's error caused by difference equations directly jumping to differential equations. Meanwhile, the research of this model manifests that LTDVM is unbiased on the “s” sequential simulation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to apply an efficient semi-analytical method for the approximate solution of Lienard’s equation of fractional order. Design/methodology/approach A Laplace decomposition method (LDM) is implemented for the nonlinear fractional Lienard’s equation that is complemented with initial conditions. The nonlinear term is decomposed and then a recursive algorithm is constructed for the determination of the proposed infinite series solution. Findings A number of examples are tested to explicate the efficiency of the proposed technique. The results confirm that this approach is convergent and highly accurate by using only few iterations of the proposed scheme. Originality/value The approach is original and is of value because it is the first time that this approach is used successfully to tackle fractional differential equations, which are of great interest for authors in the recent years.

Purpose This study aims to propose the parametric-guiding algorithm, the complex-root (CR) tunneling algorithm and the method that integrates both algorithms for the heat and fluid flow (HFF) community, and apply them to nonlinear Bratu’s boundary-value problem (BVP) and Blasius BVP. Design/methodology/approach In the first algorithm, iterations are primarily guided by a diminishing parameter that is introduced to reduce magnitudes of fictitious source terms. In the second algorithm, when iteration-related barriers are encountered, CRs are generated to tunnel through the barrier. At the exit of the tunnel, imaginary parts of CRs are trimmed. Findings In terms of the robustness of convergence, the proposed method outperforms the traditional Newton–Raphson (NR) method. For most pulsed initial guesses that resemble pulsed initial conditions for the transient Bratu BVP, the proposed method has not failed to converge. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the parametric-guiding algorithm, the CR tunneling algorithm and the method that integrates both have not been reported in the computational-HFF-related literature.
