Riccati techniques and approximation for a second-order Poincaré difference equation (Q1269063)

Approximation results are obtained via a discrete analog of Riccati method for second-order selfadjoint difference equations and applied to the following second-order Poincaré difference equation \[ z_{n+2}-t(2+b_n)z_{n+1}+t^2 (1+c_n)z_n=0,\quad t\neq 0 \] (\(b_n,c_n\) are real numbers) whose unperturbed equation has a double characteristic root.
