Dynamical systems governed by discrete time-difference equations are referred to as point mapping dynamical systems in this paper. Based upon the Poincare´ theory of index for vector fields, a theory of index is established for point mapping dynamical systems. Besides its intrinsic theoretic value, the theory can be used to help search and locate periodic solutions of strongly nonlinear systems.

As is proved earlier (the Massera theorem), the first-order scalar periodic ordinary differential equation does not have strongly irregular periodic solutions (solutions with a period incommensurable with the period of the equation). For difference equations with discrete time, strong irregularity means that the equation period and the period of its solution are relatively prime numbers. It is known that in the case of discrete equations, the mentioned result has no complete analog.The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibility of realizing an analog of the Massera theorem for certain classes of difference equations. To do this, we consider the class of linear difference equations. It is proved that a linear nonhomogeneous non-stationary periodic discrete equation of the first order does not have strongly irregular non-stationary periodic solutions.

We establish existence, multiplicity, and nonexistence of periodic solutions for a class of first-order neutral difference equations modelling physiological processes and conditions. Our approach is based on a fixed point theorem in cones as well as some analysis techniques.
