Some new nonlinear difference inequalities and their applications (Q875377)

The aim of the paper is to establish some new difference inequalities in two independent variables. A suitable choice of parameters involved gives discrete Gronwall-Ou-Iang type inequalities, cf. \textit{B.\,G.\,Pachpatte} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 222, No.~2, 438--459 (1998; Zbl 0913.39001)], and Haraux-Engler type inequalities, cf. \textit{A.\,Haraux} [``Nonlinear evolution equations -- global behavior of solutions'' (1981; Zbl 0461.35002)] and \textit{H.\ Engler} [Math. Z. 202, No.~2, 251--259 (1989; Zbl 0697.73033)] in two variables. Results also cover some inequalities proved by \textit{B.\,G.\,Pachpatte} [``Inequalities for finite difference equations'' (2002; Zbl 0987.39001)]. Applications to partial difference equations are given.
