✦ Synopsis

We show that a discrete multi-time method can be constructed to obtain approximations to the periodic solutions of a special class of second-order nonlinear difference equations containing a small parameter. Three examples illustrating the method arepresented.

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
