Suppose that {pn} is a nonnegative sequence of real numbers and let k be a positive integer. We prove that limn→∞inf [1k∑i=n−kn−1pi]>kk(k+1)k+1 is a sufficient condition for the oscillation of all solutions of the delay difference equation An+1−An+pnAn−k=0,   n=0,1,2,…. This result is sharp in that the lower bound kk/(k+1)k+1 in the condition cannot be improved. Some results on difference inequalities and the existence of positive solutions are also presented.

Consider the first-order delay difference equation with a constant argument Δxn+pnxn-k=0,  n=0,1,2,…, and the delay difference equation with a variable argument Δxn+pnxτn=0,  n=0,1,2,…, where p(n) is a sequence of nonnegative real numbers, k is a positive integer, Δx(n)=x(n+1)-x(n), and τ(n) is a sequence of integers such that τ(n)≤n-1 for all n≥0 and limn→∞τ(n)=∞. A survey on the oscillation of all solutions to these equations is presented. Examples illustrating the results are given.

The oscillatory behavior of the first order nonlinear delay difference equation of the form $$ x_{n+1} - x_n + p_n x_{n-k}^{\alpha} = 0, ~~~ n = 0, 1, 2, \ldots ~~~~~~~ \eqno{(*)} $$ is investigated. A necessary and sufficient condition of oscillation for sublinear equation (*) ($ 0 < \alpha < 1 $) and an almost sharp sufficient condition of oscillation for superlinear equation (*) ($ \alpha > 1 $) are obtained.

In this paper, some new results are obtained for the even order neutral delay difference equationΔanΔm-1xn+pnxn-kα+qnxn-lβ=0, wherem≥2is an even integer, which ensure that all solutions of the studied equation are oscillatory. Our results extend, include, and correct some of the existing results. Examples are provided to illustrate the importance of the main results.

In this paper, a class of higher-order neutral delay difference equations is investigated. Some sufficient condition of the asymptotic behavior and existence of positive solutions for the equations are obtained. At last, we give their applications to some more general equations.

We find necessary conditions for every solution of the neutral delay difference equationΔ(rnΔ(yn−pnyn−m))+qnG(yn−k)=fnto oscillate or to tend to zero asn→∞, whereΔis the forward difference operatorΔxn=xn+1−xn, andpn, qn, rnare sequences of real numbers withqn≥0, rn>0. Different ranges of{pn}, includingpn=±1, are considered in this paper. We do not assume thatGis Lipschitzian nor nondecreasing withxG(x)>0forx≠0. In this way, the results of this paper improve, generalize, and extend recent results. Also, we provide illustrative examples for our results.

AbstractLetx0<x1<x2< ⋅⋅⋅ be an increasing sequence of positive integers given by the formulaxn=⌊βxn−1+ γ⌋ forn=1, 2, 3, . . ., where β > 1 and γ are real numbers andx0is a positive integer. We describe the conditions on integersbd, . . .,b0, not all zero, and on a real number β > 1 under which the sequence of integerswn=bdxn+d+ ⋅⋅⋅ +b0xn,n=0, 1, 2, . . ., is bounded by a constant independent ofn. The conditions under which this sequence can be ultimately periodic are also described. Finally, we prove a lower bound on the complexity function of the sequenceqxn+1−pxn∈ {0, 1, . . .,q−1},n=0, 1, 2, . . ., wherex0is a positive integer,p>q> 1 are coprime integers andxn=⌈pxn−1/q⌉ forn=1, 2, 3, . . . A similar speculative result concerning the complexity of the sequence of alternatives (F:x↦x/2 orS:x↦(3x+1)/2) in the 3x+1 problem is also given.

Consider the neutral difference equation \[\Delta(x_n- cx_{n-m})+p_nx_{n-k}=0, n\ge N\qquad (*) \] where $c$ and $p_n$ are real numbers, $k$ and $N$ are nonnegative integers, and $m$ is positive integer. We show that if \[\sum_{n=N}^\infty |p_n|<\infty \qquad (**) \] then Eq.(*) has a positive solution when $c \neq 1$. However, an interesting example is also given which shows that (**) does not imply that (*) has a positive solution when $c =1$.

Abstract In this article we obtain sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all solutions of the higher-order delay difference equation Δ m ( y n − ∑ j = 1 k p n j y n − m j ) + v n G ( y σ ( n ) ) − u n H ( y α ( n ) ) = f n , $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \Delta^{m}\big(y_n-\sum_{j=1}^k p_n^j y_{n-m_j}\big) + v_nG(y_{\sigma(n)})-u_nH(y_{\alpha(n)})=f_n\,, \end{array}$$ where m is a positive integer and Δ xn = x n+1 − xn . Also we obtain necessary conditions for a particular case of the above equation. We illustrate our results with examples for which it seems no result in the literature can be applied.
