The mathematical modeling of many problems from economics, computer science, engineering, biological neural networks and others leads to the consideration of nonlinear difference equations. Many authors have studied such problems by using various methods, such as: the fixed point theory, the fixed point index theory, variational methods, the critical point theory, different transformations, extensions of Perron's second theorem, diversified criteria for the stability of solutions, and so on.
This monograph studies the existence of positive solutions for some classes of second-order nonlinear finite difference equations, and systems of second-order nonlinear finite difference equations, subject to various multi-point boundary conditions. In the case of systems, these boundary conditions may be uncoupled or coupled. It also investigates a class of nonlinear ��th order Atıcı-Eloe fractional difference equations supplemented with varied boundary conditions, and some systems of generalized second-order difference equations in Hilbert spaces with multi-point boundary conditions. The book draws together our results that have been obtained in the last years. Chapter 1 deals with the existence of positive solutions for two second-order finite difference equations which contain a linear term and a sign-changing nonlinearity, with or without parameters, subject to multi-point boundary conditions. Chapter 2 is focused on the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for two systems of nonlinear second-order difference equations with uncoupled multi-point boundary conditions. The nonlinearities from the systems are nonnegative functions and satisfy some assumptions containing concave functions, or they are sign-changing functions. Chapter 3 studies the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for two systems of nonlinear second-order difference equations supplemented with coupled multi-point boundary conditions, with positive parameters in the systems or in the boundary conditions. The nonlinearities of the systems are nonnegative functions and satisfy various assumptions. Chapter 4 is concerned with the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for two systems of nonlinear second-order difference equations subject to coupled multi-point boundary conditions, without parameters. The nonlinearities of the systems are nonnegative functions and satisfy various assumptions. Chapter 5 is devoted to the existence of positive solutions for a system of nonlinear second-order difference equations with parameters and sign-changing nonlinearities, supplemented with multi-point coupled boundary conditions. Chapter 6 deals with the existence of nontrivial solutions, nonnegative solutions and positive solutions for a class of nonlinear ��th order Atıcı-Eloe fractional difference equations with left focal boundary conditions or Dirichlet boundary conditions. In each chapter, various examples are presented which support the main results.
Finally, the new Chapter 7 investigates the existence and uniqueness of solutions for some nonlinear systems of generalized second-order difference equations in Hilbert spaces, subject to multi-point boundary conditions containing monotone operators. Some applications to initial-boundary value problems for nonlinear first-order differential systems with monotone operators are also addressed. The methods used in the proof of our theorems include results from the fixed point theory, the fixed point index theory, the theory of monotone operators and nonlinear evolution equations of monotone type in Hilbert spaces.
This monograph can serve as a good resource for the mathematical and scientific researchers, and for the graduate students in mathematics and science interested in the existence of solutions and positive solutions for finite difference equations and systems.
