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.

The theory of the exact difference equation in the general linear case has been fully developed, but the corresponding theory for the non-linear equation of the first order does not appear to have been considered. In this paper necessary and sufficient conditions for the difference equation of the first order to be exact and the form of the primitive are obtained. It appears that two conditions are required for a difference equation to be exact, one of which is identically satisfied in the limiting case of the exact differential equation. These conditions are applied to determining the primitive in some cases where the conditions for exactness are not satisfied.

Abstract The general solution to the difference equation $$x_{n+1}=\frac {ax_{n}x_{n-1}x_{n-2}+bx_{n-1}x_{n-2}+cx_{n-2}+d}{x_{n}x_{n-1}x_{n-2}},\quad n\in\mathbb{N}_{0}, $$ x n + 1 = a x n x n − 1 x n − 2 + b x n − 1 x n − 2 + c x n − 2 + d x n x n − 1 x n − 2 , n ∈ N 0 , where $a, b, c\in\mathbb{C}$ a , b , c ∈ C , $d\in\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\}$ d ∈ C ∖ { 0 } , is presented by using the coefficients, the initial values $x_{-j}$ x − j , $j=\overline{0,2}$ j = 0 , 2 ‾ , and the solution to the difference equation $$y_{n+1}=ay_{n}+by_{n-1}+cy_{n-2}+dy_{n-3}, \quad n\in\mathbb{N}_{0}, $$ y n + 1 = a y n + b y n − 1 + c y n − 2 + d y n − 3 , n ∈ N 0 , satisfying the initial conditions $y_{-3}=y_{-2}=y_{-1}=0$ y − 3 = y − 2 = y − 1 = 0 , $y_{0}=1$ y 0 = 1 . The representation complements known ones of the general solutions to the corresponding difference equations of the first and second order. Besides, the general representation formula is investigated in detail and refined by using the roots of the characteristic polynomial $$P_{4}(\lambda )=\lambda ^{4}-a\lambda ^{3}-b\lambda ^{2}-c\lambda -d $$ P 4 ( λ ) = λ 4 − a λ 3 − b λ 2 − c λ − d of the linear equation. The following cases are considered separately: (1) all the roots of the polynomial are distinct; (2) there is a unique double root of the polynomial; (3) there is a triple root of the polynomial and one simple; (4) there is a quadruple root of the polynomial; (5) there are two distinct double roots of the polynomial.

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.

AbstractIn this paper, we determine the forbidden set, introduce an explicit formula for the solutions and discuss the global behavior of solutions of the difference equationx_{n+1}=\frac{ax_{n}x_{n-k}}{bx_{n}-cx_{n-k-1}},\quad n=0,1,\ldots,where{a,b,c}are positive real numbers and the initial conditions{x_{-k-1},x_{-k},\ldots,x_{-1},x_{0}}are real numbers. We show that when{a=b=c}, the behavior of the solutions depends on whetherkis even or odd.

We give in this work the sufficient conditions on the positive solutions of the difference equationxn+1=α+(xn-1m/xnk),  n=0,1,…, whereα,k, andm∈(0,∞)under positive initial conditionsx-1,  x0to be bounded,α-convergent, the equilibrium point to be globally asymptotically stable and that every positive solution converges to a prime two-periodic solution. Our results coincide with that known for the casesm=k=1of Amleh et al. (1999) andm=1of Hamza and Morsy (2009). We offer improving conditions in the case ofm=1of Gümüs and Öcalan (2012) and explain our results by some numerical examples with figures.

This paper is concerned with the existence of nonoscillatory solutions for the nonlinear dynamic equation on time scales. By making use of the generalized Riccati transformation technique, we establish some necessary and sufficient criteria to guarantee the existence. The last examples show that our results can be applied on the differential equations, the difference equations, and the -difference equations.
