Review text

The two main results of this paper are concerned with the existence of asymptotically constant and asymptotically linear solutions of NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\Delta(r_{n-1} \Delta x_{n-1})+ a_nf(x_{n-k})= b_n,\;n=1,2,\dots, \tag{1}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(k\geq 0\), \(\{r_n\}\) is a positive sequence, \(\{a_n\}\) and \(\{b_n\}\) are real sequences and \(f\) is a real continuous function. Roughly, let NEWLINE\[NEWLINER_n= \sum^{n-1}_{j=0} {1\over r_j},\;n=1,2, \dots,NEWLINE\]NEWLINE then under the conditions \(\sum^\infty_{n=1} R_n|a_n|<\infty\) and \(\sum^\infty_{n=1} R_n|b_n|<\infty\), equation (1) has a solution which tends to any given number. In addition, if \(f\) is uniformly continuous and bounded, then given any \(c\) and \(d\), there exists a solution \(\{x_n\}\) such that \(x_n=cR_n +d+o(1)\). Schauder's fixed point theorem is employed.
