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.

This paper deals with the second-order nonlinear neutral delay difference equationΔ(anh(xn-τ1n,xn-τ2n,…,xn-τmn)Δ(xn-qnxn-τ0))+f(n,xn-σ1n,xn-σ2n,…,xn-σkn)=bn,n≥n0. Using the Banach fixed point theorem, Mann iterative method with errors, and some new techniques, we prove the existence of uncountably many positive solutions and the convergence of the sequences generated by the Mann iterative method with errors relative to these solutions for the above equation. Six examples are included. Our results extend and improve essentially the known results in this field.

The purpose of this paper is to study solvability of the second-order nonlinear neutral delay difference equationΔ(a(n,ya1n,…,yarn)Δ(yn+bnyn-τ))+f(n,yf1n,…,yfkn)=cn,  ∀n≥n0. By making use of the Rothe fixed point theorem, Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative theorem, Krasnoselskill fixed point theorem, and some new techniques, we obtain some sufficient conditions which ensure the existence of uncountably many bounded positive solutions for the above equation. Five nontrivial examples are given to illustrate that the results presented in this paper are more effective than the existing ones in the literature.

We will consider oscillation criteria for the second order difference equation with forced termΔ(anΔ(xn+λxn−τ))+qnxn−σ=rn(n≥0). We establish sufficient conditions which guarantee that every solution is oscillatory or eventually positive solutions converge to zero.

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.
