OSCILLATION OF A CLASS OF NONLINEAR DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS OF SECOND ORDER WITH OSCILLATING COEFFICIENTS
OSCILLATION OF A CLASS OF NONLINEAR DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS OF SECOND ORDER WITH OSCILLATING COEFFICIENTS
In this paper, we study asymptotic behaviour of solutions of the following second-order di erence equation: a(n) x(n)+r(n)F(x(n?)) +p(n)G(x(n ? ))?q(n)G(x(n ? )) = s(n); where n 2 N0 := N [ f0g, fr(n)gn2N0 and fs(n)gn2N0 are sequences of real numbers, fp(n)gn2N0 and fq(n)gn2N0 are nonnegative sequences of real numbers, fa(n)gn2N0 is positive, ; ; 0 are integers and F;G are continuous functions satisfying the usual sign condition; i.e., F(u)=u;G(u)=u > 0 for u 2 Rnf0g. Various ranges of the sequence fr(n)gn2N0 are considered, and illustrating examples are provided to show applicability of the results.
