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.

This paper studies the boundedness, global asymptotic stability, and periodicity of positive solutions of the equationxn=f(xn−2)/g(xn−1),n∈ℕ0, wheref,g∈C[(0,∞),(0,∞)]. It is shown that iffandgare nondecreasing, then for every solution of the equation the subsequences{x2n}and{x2n−1}are eventually monotone. For the case whenf(x)=α+βxandgsatisfies the conditionsg(0)=1,gis nondecreasing, andx/g(x)is increasing, we prove that every prime periodic solution of the equation has period equal to one or two. We also investigate the global periodicity of the equation, showing that if all solutions of the equation are periodic with period three, thenf(x)=c1/xandg(x)=c2x, for some positivec1andc2.

We will consider oscillation criteria for the second order difference equation with forced termΔ(anΔ(xn+λxn−τ))+qnxn−σ=rn(n≥0). We establish sufficient conditions which guarantee that every solution is oscillatory or eventually positive solutions converge to zero.
