Best constant for Hyers-Ulam stability of second-order \(h\)-difference equations with constant coefficients (Q2274920): Difference between revisions

The authors prove that the best (minimum) constant for Hyers-Ulam stability of first-order linear \(h\)-difference equations with a complex constant coefficient is the reciprocal of the absolute value of the Hilger real part of that coefficient. If the coefficient lies on the Hilger imaginary circle, then the equation is unstable in the Hyers-Ulam sense. Moreover, the authors determine the best constant for Hyers-Ulam stability of second-order linear \(h\)-difference equations with constant real coefficients. Second-order equations are Hyers-Ulam stable if and only if the values of the characteristic equation do not intersect the Hilger imaginary circle.
