Existence Of Positive Solutions

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 $c =1$.

Surjective Function

We consider the following difference equationxn+1=xn-1g(xn),n=0,1,…,where initial valuesx-1,x0∈[0,+∞)andg:[0,+∞)→(0,1]is a strictly decreasing continuous surjective function. We show the following. (1) Every positive solution of this equation converges toa,0,a,0,…,or0,a,0,a,…for somea∈[0,+∞). (2) Assumea∈(0,+∞). Then the set of initial conditions(x-1,x0)∈(0,+∞)×(0,+∞)such that the positive solutions of this equation converge toa,0,a,0,…,or0,a,0,a,…is a unique strictly increasing continuous function or an empty set.
