Fixed-sign solutions of a system of higher order difference equations (Q1963886)

Consider the following system \[ \begin{aligned} & \Delta^mu_i(k)= f_i \bigl( k,u_1(k), \dots, u_n(k)\bigr),\;k\in\{0,1, \dots,T\},\\ & \Delta^j u_i(0) =0,\;0\leq j\leq m-3,\\ & \alpha_i\Delta^{m-2} u_i(0)- \beta_i \Delta^{m-1} u_i(0)=0,\\ & \gamma_i\Delta^{m-2} u_i(T+1) +\partial_i \Delta^{m-1} u_i(T+1)=0,\;i=1, 2, \dots, n,\end{aligned} \] where \(m\geq 2\), \(T\geq m-1\) and for each \(1\leq i\leq n\), \(\alpha_i>0\), \(\gamma_i>0\), \(\beta_i\geq 0\), \(\partial_i\geq\gamma_i\) and \(\alpha_i \gamma_i(T+1)+ \alpha_i\partial_i +\beta_i\gamma_i >0\). The authors obtain criteria for the existence of single and double fixed-sign solutions of the system via fixed point theorems.
