On a Difference-Delay Equation

Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2000
The behaviour of continuous real solutions \(f(t)\) to the equation \[ f(t)=a_1f(t+h_1) +a_2f(t+h_2) \] and its dependence on the real positive constants \(a_1,a_2, h_1,h_2\) is studied. Definite answers are given except in the case \(h_1/h_2\) is rational.

Hexagonal vs. Rectilinear Grids for Explicit Finite Difference Schemes for the Two-dimensional Wave Equation

, 2013
Finite difference schemes for the 2-D wave equation operating on hexagonal grids and the accompanyingnumerical dispersion properties have received little attention in comparison to schemes operating on rectilinear grids.

On a non-autonomous difference equation

, 2005
Abu-Saris and DeVault proposed two open problems about the difference equation x(n+1) = a(n)x(n)/x(n-1), n = 0, 1, 2,..., where a(n) not equal 0 for n = 0, 1, 2..., x(-1) not equal 0, x(0) not equal 0.

Hospitalization Through Families’ Eyes: Comparing Inpatient Care Quality for Children With Sickle Cell Disease and Cystic Fibrosis in Canada

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic, inherited hemoglobinopathy that requires frequent hospitalization for disease‐related complications. Canadian data on inpatient care is limited. This study compared caregiver‐reported hospital experiences of children with SCD to those with cystic fibrosis (CF), a chronic, autosomal recessive ...

Positive Solutions of Difference Equations [PDF]

Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1990
Necessary and sufficient condition for existence of positive solutions of the difference equation \((E)\quad (-1)^{m-1}\Delta^ mA_ n+\sum^{\infty}_{k=0}p_ kA_{n-\ell_ k}=0\) is established, where m is a positive integer, \((p_ k)_{k\geq 0}\) is a sequence of positive real numbers, \((\ell_ k)_{k\geq 0}\) is a sequence of integers with \(0\leq \ell_ ...

Heterogeneity in the Global Practice of Central Nervous System Staging in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is assessed by cell counting and cytomorphology from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and is used for treatment stratification worldwide. The ratio of “CNS2” patients in clinical trials ranges from 3% to 40%, with unclear prognostic significance ...

On the Periodicity of a Difference Equation with Maximum [PDF]

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2008
We investigate the periodic nature of solutions of the max difference equation xn+1 = max⁡{xn, A}/(xnxn−1), n = 0, 1, …, where A is a positive real parameter, and the initial conditions and such that r−1 and r0 are positive rational numbers. The results in this paper answer the Open Problem 6.2 posed by Grove and Ladas (2005).

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

Eigenvalue problems for a conjugate difference equation

, 2010
We consider the third order difference equation ∆^3 y(k)+λF(k,y,∆y,∆^2y)=02≤k≤T+3 satisfying conjugate boundary conditions y(0)=y(1)=y(T+3)=0 Values of λ are characterized so that the boundary value problem has a positive solution ...
