Stable periodic solutions of difference equations
The authors consider the difference equation \[ x(t+1)= f\bigl(x(t)\bigr)+ \varepsilon g\bigl(t,x(t), x(t+1)\bigr),\;t\geq 0, \] where \(f\) and \(g\) are continuous functions and \(\varepsilon\) is sufficiently small. The function \(f\) has an attracting cycle of length \(n\) and \(g\) is 1-periodic in \(t\). Under further conditions the existence of \

On the Periodic Solutions of Some Systems of Difference Equations
In this paper, we study the solution of the systems of difference equations \begin{equation*} x_{n+1}=\frac{1\pm (y_{n}+x_{n-1})}{y_{n-2}},\ \ \ y_{n+1}=\frac{1\pm (x_{n}+y_{n-1})}{x_{n-2}},\;\;n=0,1,..., \end{equation*}% {\Large \noindent }where the ...

On quasi-periodic solutions of forced higher order nonlinear difference equations
Consider the following higher order difference equation \begin{equation*} x(n+1)= f(n,x(n))+g(n,x(n-k))+b(n), \qquad n=0, 1, \dots \end{equation*} where $f(n,x), g(n,x): \{0, 1, \dots \}\times [0, \infty) \rightarrow [0,\infty)$ are continuous functions

Periodic solutions of difference equations with general periodicity
The authors discuss the continuous difference equation \[ x(t+1)= f\bigl(x(t)\bigr)+ \varepsilon g\bigl(t,x(t), x(t+1)\bigr),\tag{1} \] where \(f\) and \(g\) are given continuous functions and \(\varepsilon >0\) is a parameter. The function \(g\) is \(m\)-periodic in \(t\) and \(m\) may be not equal to the period of the cycle of \(f\) (a set ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Adolescent siblings of children with cancer are at elevated risk for psychosocial problems. Unfortunately, various barriers such as limited family time and resources, conflicting schedules, and psychosocial staffing constraints at cancer centers hinder sibling access to support.

Periodic Solutions of Certain Differential Equations with Piecewise Constant Argument
Existence criteria are derived for the eventually periodic solutions of a class of differential equations with piecewise constant argument whose solutions at consecutive integers satisfy nonlinear recurrence relations. The proof characterizes the initial

Eventually Periodic Solutions of a Max-Type Difference Equation [PDF]
We study the following max-type difference equationxn=max{An/xn-r,xn-k},n=1,2,…, where{An}n=1+∞is a periodic sequence with periodpandk,r∈{1,2,…}withgcd(k,r)=1andk≠r, and the initial conditionsx1-d,x2-d,…,x0are real numbers withd=max{r,k}. We show that ifp=1(orp≥2andkis odd), then every well-defined solution of this equation is eventually periodic ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Patients with ovarian cancer often present with massive ascites, leading to significant protein loss during surgical procedures. Although cell‐free concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy (CART) is used in palliative settings to mitigate protein loss, its application in intraoperative settings remains unexplored.

ABSTRACT Introduction Adult‐onset Still's disease (AOSD) complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) carries substantial mortality. The role of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) remains uncertain. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with AOSD‐MAS treated with TPE at a single‐center.
