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.

In this paper we establish three different existence results for periodic solutions for a class of first-order neutral differential equations. The first one is based on a generalized version of the Poincar?-Birkhoff fixed point theorem where we establish conditions on f which guarantee that a first-order neutral differential equations has infinitely many periodic solutions. The second one is based on Mawhin?s continuation theorem and the third one is based on Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem.

We will consider the existence of multiple positive periodic solutions for a class of abstract difference equations by using the well-known fixed point theorem (due to Krasnoselskii).

By using the fixed point theorem on cone, some sufficient conditions are obtained on the existence of positive periodic solutions for a class ofn-species competition systems with impulses. Meanwhile, we point out that the conclusion of (Yan, 2009) is incorrect.

In this paper, we study the existence of positive periodic solutions to the equation x″ = f (t, x). It is proved that such a equation has more than one positive periodic solution when the nonlinearity changes sign. The proof relies on a fixed point theorem in cones.

The Rayleigh equation with two deviating argumentsx′′(t)+f(x'(t))+g1(t,x(t-τ1(t)))+g2(t,x(t-τ2(t)))=e(t)is studied. By using Leray-Schauder index theorem and Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem, we obtain some new results on the existence of periodic solutions, especially for the existence of nontrivial periodic solutions to this equation. The results are illustrated with two examples, which cannot be handled using the existing results.

This paper is concerned with the existence of multiple periodic solutions for discrete Nicholson’s blowflies type system. By using the Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem, we obtain the existence of three nonnegative periodic solutions for discrete Nicholson’s blowflies type system. In order to show that, we first establish the existence of three nonnegative periodic solutions for then-dimensional functional difference systemyk+1=Akyk+fk, yk-τ, k∈ℤ, whereAkis not assumed to be diagonal as in some earlier results. In addition, a concrete example is also given to illustrate our results.

AbstractIn this paper we study the existence of positive periodic solutions to second-order singular differential equations with the sign-changing potential. Both the repulsive case and the attractive case are studied. The proof is based on Schauder’s fixed point theorem. Recent results in the literature are generalized and significantly improved.

In this article, we propose a coupled system of fractional difference equations with nonlocal fractional sum boundary conditions on the discrete half-line and study its existence result by using Schauder’s fixed point theorem. An example is provided to illustrate the results.

AbstractIn this paper we prove the existence of solutions and Carathéodory’s type solutions of the dynamic Cauchy problemThe Sadovskii fixed point theorem and Ambrosetti’s lemma are used to prove the main result.As dynamic equations are an unification of differential and difference equations our result is also valid for differential and difference equations. The results presented in this paper are new not only for Banach valued functions but also for real valued functions.
