This paper addresses the max-type difference equationxn=max{fn/xn−kα,B/xn−mβ},n∈ℕ0, wherek,m∈ℕ,B>0, and(fn)n∈ℕ0is a positive sequence with a finite limit. We prove that every positive solution to the equation converges tomax{(limn→∞fn)1/(α+1),B1/(β+1)}under some conditions. Explicit positive solutions to two particular cases are also presented.

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 $c =1$.

We study the following difference equationxn+1=(p+xn-1)/(qxn+xn-1),n=0,1,…,wherep,q∈(0,+∞)and the initial conditionsx-1,x0∈(0,+∞). We show that every positive solution of the above equation either converges to a finite limit or to a two cycle, which confirms that the Conjecture 6.10.4 proposed by Kulenović and Ladas (2002) is true.

In this work, we investigate the following system of fractional q-difference equations with four-point boundary problems: Dqαut+ft,vt=0,0<t<1;Dqβvt+gt,ut=0,0<t<1;u0=0,u1=γ1uη1; and v0=0,v1=γ2uη2, where Dqα and Dqβ are the fractional Riemann–Liouville q-derivative of order α and β, respectively, 0<q<1, 1<β≤α≤2, 0<η1,η2<1, 0<γ1η1α−1<1, and 0<γ2η2β−1<1. By virtue of monotone iterative approach, the iterative positive solutions are obtained. An example to illustrate our result is given.

A thorough discussion on such an asymptotic behavior of solutions is provided. Related Kneser type criteria are presented.

AbstractWe consider the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the quasilinear difference equation $$ \textstyle\begin{cases} -\nabla [\phi (\triangle u(t))]=\lambda a(t,u(t))+\mu b(t,u(t)), \quad t\in \mathbb{T}, \\ u(1)=u(N)=0, \end{cases} $$ { − ∇ [ ϕ ( △ u ( t ) ) ] = λ a ( t , u ( t ) ) + μ b ( t , u ( t ) ) , t ∈ T , u ( 1 ) = u ( N ) = 0 , where $\lambda ,\mu \geq 0$ λ , μ ≥ 0 , $\mathbb{T}=\{2,\ldots ,N-1\}$ T = { 2 , … , N − 1 } with $N>3$ N > 3 , $\phi (s)=s/\sqrt{1-s^{2}}$ ϕ ( s ) = s / 1 − s 2 . The function $f:=\lambda a(t,s)+\mu b(t,s)$ f : = λ a ( t , s ) + μ b ( t , s ) is either sublinear, or superlinear, or sub-superlinear near $s=0$ s = 0 . Applying the topological method, we prove the existence of either one or two, or three positive solutions.
