Properties of Schwarzian difference equations

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2015
We consider the Schwarzian type difference equation $$ \Big[\frac{\Delta^{3}f(z)}{\Delta f(z)}-\frac{3}{2} \Big(\frac{\Delta^{2}f(z)}{\Delta f(z)}\Big)^{2}\Big]^{k}=R(z), $$ where R(z) is a nonconstant rational function.

Gricean metacommunication

open access: yesMind &Language, EarlyView.
Three main approaches exist for finessing the cognitive demands of Grice's model of communication (a notorious problem): namely, deflationism, modularity, and interpretivism.
