Using the representation theory of groups, we are able to give simple necessary and sufficient conditions regarding the structure of the Galois groups of second and third order linear differential equations. These allow us to give simple necessary and sufficient conditions for a second order linear

Let x 1n and x 2n be recessive and dominant solutions of the nonoscillatory difference equation r n-1 x n-1 + p n x n = 0. It is shown that if β f n x 1n x 2n converges (perhaps conditionally) and satisfies a second condition on its order of covergence, then the difference equation r n-1 y n-1 + p n
A closed form solution of a second order linear homogeneous difference equation with variable coefficients is presented. As an application of this solution, Ε½ . we obtain expressions for cos n and sin n q 1 rsin as polynomials in cos .
We extend to a particular class of nonlinear difference equations the classical method of equivalent linearization. We show that the method can be used to obtain an approximation to the periodic solutions of these equations. In particular, we can determine the parameters of the limit cycles and limi
