We consider positive solutions of the following difference equation where A n , B n are positive and periodic with period 3. We prove that all solutions of the above equation are eventually periodic.

We establish oscillation results and prove global asymptotic stability for the following difference equation: y n + 1 = A + y n y n − 2 ··· y n − (2 k − 2) y n − 1 y n − 3 ··· y n − (2 k − 1) , A > 0, k ≥ 2, n ≥ 2k.

Olver has given an elegant construction of recessive solutions of nonhomogeneous scalar three term recurrence relations. We investigate the feasibility of applying his methods to block tridiagonal nonhomogeneous systems where the coefficient matrices

where p > 1 and {s,)‘p is a real sequence. We establish conditions under which (1.1) has a positive nondecreasing solution. Here a solution of (1.1) is a real sequence y = (_Y~); which satisfies (1.1). Since (1.1) is a recurrence relation, given re

Discrete analogues are investigated for well-known results on oscillation, growth, and asymptotic behavior of solutions of y″ + q(t) yγ = 0, for q(t) ⩾ 0 and for q(t) ⩽ 0. The analogue of Atkinson's oscillation criterion is shown to be true fo

In this paper we study boundedness and monotonicity properties of a homogeneous second-order linear difference equation. Under certain conditions it is shown that every solution must eventually be monotonic. The question of when such monotonic soluti

For the fourth-order linear difference equation Δ4un−2 = bn un, with bn > 0 for all n, generalized zeros are defined, following Hartman [5], and two theorems are proved concerning separation of zeros of linearly independent solutions. Some prelimi

The number of nonoscillatory solutions of a forced second order linear differential equation is studied under the hypothesis that the homogeneous equation is oscillatory. The main technique involves expressing a general solution of the forced equatio
