On a max-type difference inequality and its applications (Q980821)

Summary: We prove a useful max-type difference inequality which can be applied in studying of some max-type difference equations and give an application of it in a recent problem from the research area. We also give a representation of solutions of the difference equation \(x_{n}= \max\left\{ x_{n-1}^{a_1},\dots ,x_{n-k}^{a_k}\right\}\).
