On Friedrichs-type inequalities in domains rarely perforated along the boundary [PDF]
This article is devoted to the Friedrichs inequality, where the domain is periodically perforated along the boundary. It is assumed that the functions satisfy homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions on the outer boundary and that they vanish on the ...

Positive solutions for singular discrete boundary value problems
We study the existence of zero‐convergent solutions for the second‐order nonlinear difference equation Δ(anΦp(Δxn)) = g(n, xn+1), where Φp(u) = |u|p−2u, p > 1,{an} is a positive real sequence for n ≥ 1, and g is a positive continuous function on ℕ × (0, u0), 0 < u0 ≤ ∞. The effects of singular nonlinearities and of the forcing term are treated as well.

Symplectic difference systems: oscillation theory and hyperbolic Prüfer transformation
We present basic methods of oscillation theory of symplectic difference systems (SDSs). A particular attention is devoted to the variational principle and to the transformation method. Hyperbolic Prüfer transformation for SDSs is established.

Accurate solution estimates for nonlinear nonautonomous vector difference equations
The paper deals with the vector discrete dynamical system xk+1 = Akxk + fk(xk). Thewell‐known result by Perron states that this system is asymptotically stable if Ak ≡ A = const is stable and fk(x)≡f˜(x)=o(‖x‖). Perron′s result gives no information about the size of the region of asymptotic stability and norms of solutions.

On certain comparison theorems for half‐linear dynamic equations on time scales
We obtain comparison theorems for the second‐order half‐linear dynamic equation [r(t)Φ(yΔ)]Δ+p(t)Φ(yσ)=0, where Φ(x) = |x|α−1sgn x with α > 1. In particular, it is shown that the nonoscillation of the previous dynamic equation is preserved if we multiply the coefficient p(t) by a suitable function q(t) and lower the exponent α in the nonlinearity Φ ...

Accurate solution estimates for vector difference equations
Accurate estimates for the norms of the solutions of a vector difference equation are derived. They give us stability conditions and bounds for the region of attraction of the stationary solution. Our approach is based on estimates for the powers of a constant matrix.

Existence and global stability of positive periodic solutions of a discrete delay competition system
The existence and the global stability of positive periodic solutions of a discrete competition model is studied. The model incorporates time delays and allows for a fluctuating environment. By means of some standard procedures of the topological degree method and the construction of a suitable Lyapunov function, sufficient conditions are obtained to ...

An analytical method with Padé technique for solving of variational problems
In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is employed to solve a class of variational problems (VPs). By using the so-called ħ-curves, we determine the convergence parameter ħ, which plays key role to control convergence of solution series.
