โœฆ Synopsis

Behavioral models based on Markovian decision processes lead to functional difference equations for quantities such as the mean lifetime of the forager and the probability of reproductive success of the forager. In this paper, asymptotic and iterative methods are developed for the solution of such equations. The asymptotic methods are compared with numerical simulations. The iterative methods can be proved by a simple application of contraction mapping theorems.

In this paper we present a theorem on asymptotic behavior of \(W(n, x(n))\) where \(x(n)\) is a solution of the difference equation \(x(n+1)=f(n, x(n)), n \in N^{+}\)and \(W(n, x): N^{+} \times R^{d} \rightarrow R^{+}\)is continuous. As applications we discuss examples which cannot be handled by the

In this paper, we apply a cone theoretic fixed-point theorem and obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions to some boundary value problems for a class of functional difference equations. We consider analogues of sublinear or superlinear growth in the nonlinear terms.
