The authors consider the two-dimensional difference system$$ \Delta x_n = b_n g (y_n) $$ $$ \Delta y_n = -f(n, x_{n+1}) $$where $ n \in N(n_0) = \{ n_0, n_0+1, \ldots \} $, $ n_0 $ a nonnegative integer; $ \{ b_n \} $ is a real sequence, $ f: N(n_0) \times {\rm R} \to {\rm R} $ is continuous with $ u f(n,u) > 0 $ for all $ u \ne 0 $. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of nonoscillatory solutions with a specified asymptotic behavior are given. Also sufficient conditions for all solutions to be oscillatory are obtained if $ f $ is either strongly sublinear or strongly superlinear. Examples of their results are also inserted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
