Asymptotic behavior results for nonlinear neutral delay difference equations (Q531635)

The paper is devoted to the nonlinear neutral delay difference equation \[ \Delta\left[ x\left( n\right) -c\left( n\right) x\left( n-m\right) \right] +p\left( n\right) f\left( x\left( n-k\right) \right) =0,\;n\in\mathbb{N},\;n\geq n_{0}, \] where \(\Delta\) is the forward difference operator given by \(\Delta x\left( n\right) =x\left( n+1\right) -x\left( n\right)\), function \(f\) is continuous from \(\mathbb{R}\) to \(\mathbb{R},\) \(m,\) \(k\) are positive integers, and \(c\left( n\right)\), \(p\left( n\right) \) are given real sequences. For this equation, the author found sufficient conditions so that every solution is bounded and tends to a constant as \(n\rightarrow\infty\). The theorems improve and extend some known results and the main tools of the proof is Lyapunov's direct method.
