Consider the even-order neutral difference equation (*) ${\delta}^m(x_n{-}p_ng(x_{n-k}))-q_nh(x_{n-1})=0$, n=0,1,2,... where $\Delta$ is the forward difference operator, m is even, ${-p_n},{q_n}$ are sequences of nonnegative real numbers, k, l are nonnegative integers, g(x), h(x) ${\in}$ C(R, R) with xg(x) > 0 for $x\;{\neq}\;0$. In this paper, we obtain some linearized oscillation theorems of (*) for $p_n\;{\in}\;(-{\infty},0)$ which are discrete results of the open problem by Gyori and Ladas.

In this paper, we study the first order nonlinear neutral difference equation: $${\Delta}(x(n)+px(n-{\tau}))+f(n,x(n-c),x(n-d))=r(n),\;n{\geq}n_0$$. Using the Banach fixed point theorem, we prove the existence of bounded positive solutions of the equation, suggest Mann iterative schemes of bounded positive solutions, and discuss the error estimates between bounded positive solutions and sequences generated by Mann iterative schemes.

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the forced nonlinear neutral difference equation $\Delta[x(n)-\sumpi(n)x(n-k_i)]+\sumqj(n)f(x(n-\iota_j))=r(n)$ with sign changing coefficients. Some sufficient conditions for every solution of (*) to tend to zero are established. The results extend and improve some known theorems in literature.

In this paper the authors present sufficient conditions for all bounded solutions of the second order neutral difference equation ${\Delta}^2(y_n\;-\;py_{n-{\kappa}})\;-\;q_nf(y_{n-e})\;=\;0,\;n\;{\in}\;N$ to be oscillatory. Examples are provided to illustrate the results.

In this paper, we introduce an iterative method to study oscillatory properties of delay difference equations of the following form ${\nabla}_{\alpha}\;[x(t)\;-\;r(t)x(t\;-\;k)]\;+\;p(t)x(t\;-\;{\tau})\;-\;q(t)x(t\;-\;{\sigma})\;=\;0$, $t\;{\geq}\;t_0$, where $t_0\;{\in}\;\mathbb{R}$, t varies in the real interval ($t_0,\;{\infty}$), $\alpha$ > 0, $\kappa$, $\tau$, ${\sigma}\;{\geq}\;0$, $r\;{\in}\;C\;([t_0-{\alpha},\;{\infty}),\;\mathbb{R}^+$, p, $q\;{\in}\;C\;([t_0,\;{\infty}),\;\mathbb{R}^+)$ and ${\nabla}_{\alpha}x(t)\;=\;x(t)\;-\;x(t\;-\;{\alpha})$ for $t\;{\geq}\;t_0$.

In this paper, we establish some new oscillation criteria for a second-order delay dynamic equation $$u^{{\Delta}{\Delta}}(t)+p(t)u(\tau(t))=0$$ on a time scale $\mathbb{T}$. The results can be applied on differential equations when $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}$, delay difference equations when $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{N}$ and for delay $q$-difference equations when $\mathbb{T}=q^{\mathbb{N}}$ for q > 1.

We consider the problem of oscillation and nonoscillation solutions for unstable type second-order neutral difference equation : $\Delta^2(x(n))-p(n)x(n-\tau))=q(n)x(g(n))$. (1) In this paper, we obtain some conditions for the bounded solutions of Eq(1) to be oscillatory and for the existence of the nonoscillatory solutions.

In this paper, we investigate nonoscillatory solutions of a class of higher order neutral nonlinear difference equations with positive and negative coefficients $\Delta^m(x(n)+p(n)x(\tau(n)))+f_1(n,x(\sigma_1(n)))-f_2(n,x(\sigma_2(n)))=0,\;n{\geq}n_0$. Some sufficient conditions for the existence of nonoscillatory solutions are obtained.

We use Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem to show that the nonlinear neutral difference equation with delay x(t + 1) = a(t)x(t) + c(t)${\Delta}$x(t - g(t)) + q(t, x(t), x(t - g(t)) has a periodic solution. To apply Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem, one would need to construct two mappings; one is contraction and the other is compact. Also, by making use of the variation of parameters techniques we are able, using the contraction mapping principle, to show that the periodic solution is unique.

Consider the second order self-adjoint neutral difference equation of form $\Delta(a_n$\mid$\Delta(x_n\;-\;{p_n}{x_{{\tau}_n}}$\mid$^{\alpha}sgn{\Delta}(x_n\;-\;{p_n}{x_{{\tau}_n}}\;+\;f(n,\;{x_{g_n}}\;=\;0$. In this paper, we will give the classification of nonoscillatory solutions of the above equation; and by the fixed point theorem, we present some existence results for some kinds of nonoscillatory solutions of the equation.
