The 25 selected paper, most of which were presented at the conference and accepted after peer review, report on recent developments in a wide range of topics. These include stability theory, oscillation theory, combinatorics, numerical analysis, asymptotics, partial difference equations, and applications to sciences. The topics include the boundedness of solutions for a plant-herbivore system, a method for solving second-order difference equations, finding invariant regions of non-autonomous Lyness-type difference equations, explicit necessary and sufficient conditions for oscillations of two difference equations, symmetry formation in the discrete heat equation, and finite difference equations and periodicity. Several of the reproduced typescripts are double spaced. They are not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
The late Professor Ming-Po Chen was instrumental in making the Third International Conference on Difference Equations a great success. Dedicated to his memory, these proceedings feature papers presented by many of the most prominent mathematicians in the field. It is a comprehensive collection of the latest developments in topics including stability theory, combinatorics, asymptotics, partial difference equations, as well as applications to biological, social, and natural sciences. This volume is an indispensable reference for academic and applied mathematicians, theoretical physicists, systems engineers, and computer and information scientists.
