Positive periodic solutions of nonlinear functional difference equations

Youssef N. Raffoul

Abstract:
In this paper, we apply a cone theoretic fixed point theorem to obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple positive periodic solutions to the nonlinear functional difference equations
$$ x(n+1)=a(n)x(n)\pm \lambda h(n) f(x(n-\tau(n))). $$
