Periodic solutions of difference equations with general periodicity

Computers & Mathematics with Applications, 2001
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 ...

Inpatient Exposure, Confidence, and Knowledge in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology: Evaluating General Pediatric Residents During 2025 ACGME Curriculum Change

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background General pediatricians often evaluate hematologic and oncologic presentations before subspecialty consultation, yet the 2025 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) pediatric requirements reduce inpatient pediatric hematology/oncology (PHO) time, raising questions about resident readiness.

Equations for periodic solutions of a logistic difference equation [PDF]

The Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society. Series B. Applied Mathematics, 1981
AbstractThe paper is concerned with periodic solutions of the difference equation un + 1 = 2aun, where a and b are constants, with and b > 0. A new method is developed for dealing with this problem and, for period lengths up to 6, polynomial equations are given which allow the periodic solutions to be determined in a precise and practical manner ...

Sociodemographic Factors Associated With Later Stage at Diagnosis of Pediatric Germ Cell Tumors: A Report From Children's Oncology Group Registries ACCRN07 and APEC14B1

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Germ cell tumors (GCTs) often arise in the ovaries and testes (extracranial) but can also develop in the brain (intracranial). We examined the relationship of individual, family, and community‐level socioeconomic status (SES) with stage of disease at diagnosis in a cohort of pediatric patients with GCT from Children's Oncology Group

Phase Angle as an Early Functional Biomarker of Cancer‐Related Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology: A Prospective Longitudinal Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in low‐and middle‐income countries. Cancer treatment may impair nutritional status, alter body composition, and exacerbate cancer‐related fatigue (CRF).

Stability of periodic solutions of first-order difference equations lying between lower and upper solutions

Advances in Difference Equations, 2005
We prove that if there exists α≤β, a pair of lower and upper solutions of the first-order discrete periodic problem Δu(n)=f(n,u(n));n∈IN≡{0,…,N−1},u(0)=u(N), with f a continuous N-periodic function in its first variable ...

Natural Killer Cells in Paediatric Soft Tissue Sarcomas: A Systematic Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paediatric soft tissue sarcomas (pSTS) are a rare and heterogeneous group of malignant tumours arising in tissues of mesenchymal origin. The role of natural killer (NK) cells in pSTS remains poorly understood, with evidence fragmented across small preclinical studies and early‐phase clinical trials.

On Hierarchical Composite Endpoints in Pediatric Cancer Supportive Care: Illustrative Examples From Two Multi‐Center Phase‐III Randomized Clinical Trials

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric supportive care clinical trials often involve multiple clinically important outcomes, complicating trial interpretation. Hierarchical composite endpoints (HCEs) provide a framework to integrate key outcomes according to clinical importance.

Eventually Periodic Solutions for Difference Equations with Periodic Coefficients and Nonlinear Control Functions

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2008
For nonlinear difference equations of the form xn=F(n,xn−1,…,xn−m), it is usually difficult to find periodic solutions. In this paper, we consider a class of difference equations of the form xn=anxn−1+bnf(xn−k), where {an},  {bn} are periodic sequences ...

Almost Periodic Solutions of Nonlinear Volterra Difference Equations with Unbounded Delay

Axioms, 2015
In order to obtain the conditions for the existence of periodic and almost periodic solutions of Volterra difference equations, \( x(n+1)=f(n,x(n))+\sum_{s=-\infty}^{n}F(n,s, {x(n+s)},x(n)) \), we consider certain stability properties, which are referred
