Abstract In this work we reconsider the dynamics of a few versions of the classical Samuelson's multiplier- accelerator model for national economy. First we recall that the classical one with constant governmental expenditure, represented by a linear second-order difference equation, is able to generate oscillations con- verging to the equilibrium for a wide range of values of the parameters, and give its analytic solution for all the possible cases. A delayed version proposed in the recent literature, represented by a linear third-order di¤erence equation, is also considered. We show that also this model is able to produce converging oscilla- tions, and give a complete analysis of the stability region of the equilibrium. A new simple nonlinear model is proposed, showing that it keeps oscillatory behavior, although coupled with other dynamics related to global effects. Our analysis confirms that the seminal work of Samuelson and simple modifications of it, may give powerful tools in the study of the business cycles.

AbstractIn this work, we reconsider the dynamics of a few versions of the classical Samuelson’s multiplier–accelerator model for national economy. First we recall that the classical one with constant governmental expenditure, represented by a linear second-order difference equation, is able to generate oscillations converging to the equilibrium for a wide range of values of the parameters, and give its analytic solution for all the possible cases. A delayed version proposed in the recent literature, represented by a linear third-order difference equation, is also considered. We show that also this model is able to produce converging oscillations, and give a complete analysis of the stability region of the equilibrium.

By using the Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) theory, we investigate the stability of two elliptic equilibrium points (zero equilibrium and negative equilibrium) of the difference equation t n + 1 = α t n + β t n 2 − t n − 1 , n = 0 , 1 , 2 , … , where are t − 1 , t 0 , α ∈ R , α ≠ 0 , β > 0 . By using the symmetries we find the periodic solutions with some periods. Finally, some numerical examples are given to verify our theoretical results.

We study a second-order difference equation of the formzn+1=znF(zn-1)+h, where bothF(z)andzF(z)are decreasing. We consider a set of invariant curves ath=1and use it to characterize the behaviour of solutions whenh>1and when0<h<1. The caseh>1is related to the Y2K problem. For0<h<1, we study the stability of the equilibrium solutions and find an invariant region where solutions are attracted to the stable equilibrium. In particular, for certain range of the parameters, a subset of the basin of attraction of the stable equilibrium is achieved by bounding positive solutions using the iteration of dominant functions with attracting equilibria.

AbstractIn this work, we establish optimal Lyapunov-type inequalities for the second-order difference equation with p-Laplacian $$\begin{aligned} \Delta (\left| \Delta u(k-1)\right| ^{p-2}\Delta u(k-1))+a(k)\left| u(k)\right| ^{p-2}u(k)=0 \end{aligned}$$ Δ ( Δ u ( k - 1 ) p - 2 Δ u ( k - 1 ) ) + a ( k ) u ( k ) p - 2 u ( k ) = 0 with Dirichlet, Neumann, mixed, periodic and anti-periodic boundary conditions.

AbstractWe consider the second-order rational difference equation $$ {x_{n+1}=\gamma +\delta \frac{x_{n}}{x^{2}_{n-1}}}, $$xn+1=γ+δxnxn−12, where γ, δ are positive real numbers and the initial conditions $x_{-1}$x−1 and $x_{0}$x0 are positive real numbers. Boundedness along with global attractivity and Neimark–Sacker bifurcation results are established. Furthermore, we give an asymptotic approximation of the invariant curve near the equilibrium point.

In this paper we will present the Julia set and the global behavior of a quadratic second order difference equation of type xn+1 = axnxn-1 + ax2n-1 + bxn-1 where a > 0 and 0 ? b < 1 with non-negative initial conditions.
