Asymptotic properties of solutions of higher order nonlinear generalized difference equation (Q2906329)

The authors study the higher order nonlinear generalized difference equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \Delta_l^n u(k)+f(k,u(k), \Delta_l u(k),\dots, \Delta_l^{n-1} u(k))=0,\quad k\in[0,\infty), \tag{1}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\Delta_l u(k):=u(k+l)-u(k)\), the function \(f\) is defined on \([0,\infty)\times\mathbb{R}\), and \(l>0\). In the main results, the generalized l'Hospital rule for equation (1) is established (see Theorem 3.4 and Corollary 3.5) and asymptotic properties of its solutions are investigated (see Theorems 3.7, 3.10, and 3.13).
