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 $c =1$.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a neutral difference equation of the form $\Delta [x(n) + cx(\tau (n))] - p(n)x)(\sigma (n)) = 0,$, where τ(n) is a general retarded argument, σ(n) is a general deviated argument, c ∈ ℝ, (−p(n))n≥0 is a sequence of negative real numbers such that p(n) ≥ p, p ∈ ℝ+, and Δ denotes the forward difference operator Δx(n) = x(n+1)−x(n).

AbstractIn this paper, we are concerned with oscillation of the third-order nonlinear neutral difference equation $\Delta (c_n [\Delta (d_n \Delta (x_n + p_n x_{n - \tau } ))]^\gamma ) + q_n f(x_{g(n)} ) = 0,n \geqslant n_0 ,$ where γ > 0 is the quotient of odd positive integers, c n, d n, p n and q n are positive sequences of real numbers, τ is a nonnegative integer, g(n) is a sequence of nonnegative integers and f ∈ C(ℝ,ℝ) such that uf(u) > 0 for u ≠ 0. Our results extend and improve some previously obtained ones. Some examples are considered to illustrate the main results.

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.

Consider the following system of difference equations:xn+1(i)=xn-m+1(i)/Ai∏j=0m-1xn-j(i+j+1)+αi,xn+1(i+m)=xn+1(i),x1-l(i+l)=ai,l,Ai+m=Ai,αi+m=αi,i,l=1,2,…,m;n=0,1,2,…,wheremis a positive integer,Ai,αi,i=1,2,…,m, and the initial conditionsai,l,i,l=1,2,…,m,are positive real numbers. We obtain the expressions of the positive solutions of the system and then give a precise description of the convergence of the positive solutions. Finally, we give some numerical results.

In this paper we study qualitative properties of solutions of the neutral difference equation $$ \Delta(y_n-py_{n-k})+\sum_{i=1}^m q_n^i y_{n-k_i} =0 $$ $$ y_n=A_n \quad \text{ for } n=-M, \cdots, -1, 0$$ where $p \ge 1$, $M =\max\{k, k_1, \cdots, k_m\}$, and $k$, $k_i$, $i =1, \cdots, m$, are nonnegative integers. Riccati techniques are used.

Some new oscillation criteria are established for a third-order nonlinear mixed neutral difference equation. Our results improve and extend some known results in the literature. Several examples are given to illustrate the importance of the results.
