We study the difference equationxn+1=α−xn/xn−1,n∈ℕ0, whereα∈ℝand wherex−1andx0are so chosen that the corresponding solution(xn)of the equation is defined for everyn∈ℕ. We prove that whenα=3the equilibriumx¯=2of the equation is not stable, which corrects a result due to X. X. Yan, W. T. Li, and Z. Zhao. For the caseα=1, we show that there is a strictly monotone solution of the equation, and we also find its asymptotics. An explicit formula for the solutions of the equation are given for the caseα=0.

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.

We prove that the N-colored Jones polynomial for the torus knot [Formula: see text] satisfies the second order difference equation, which reduces to the first order difference equation for a case of [Formula: see text]. We show that the A-polynomial of the torus knot can be derived from the difference equation. Also constructed is a q-hypergeometric type expression of the colored Jones polynomial for [Formula: see text].

In this paper we study fuzzy solutions to the second order, linear, difference equation with constant coefficients but having fuzzy initial conditions. We look at two methods of solution: (1) in the first method we fuzzify the crisp solution and then check to see if it solves the difference equation; and (2) in the second method we first solve the fuzzy difference equation and then check to see if the solution defines a fuzzy number. Relationships between these two solution methods are also presented. Two applications are given: (1) the first is about a second order difference equation, having fuzzy initial conditions, modeling national income; and (2) the second is from information theory modeling the transmission of information.
