Bounded solutions of a class of difference equations in Banach spaces producing controlled chaos (Q2469938)

The author studies the equivalence between convergent and slowly varying sequences defined in a complex Banach space \(X\). The main result of the paper says that given \(\alpha_j\), \(j=1,\dots,k\), real numbers such that \(\sum_{j=1}^k\alpha_j=1\), and \(P_k(z)=z^k-\alpha_1z^{k-1}-\cdots-\alpha_k\). If \((x_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}} \subset X\) is such that \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\| x_{n+k}-\sum_{j=1}^k\alpha_jx_{n+k-j}\| =0\), then the boundedness of the sequence \((x_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\) implies \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\| x_{n+1}-x_n\| =0\) if and only if all the zeros of the polynomial \(P_k(z)\) belong to the set \({\mathbb C}\backslash\{z: | z| =1,z\not=1\}\).
