For a nonlinear equation with several variable delays $$ \dot{x}(t)=\sum_{k=1}^m f_k(t, x(h_1(t)),\dots,x(h_l(t)))-g(t,x(t)), $$ where the functions $f_k$ increase in some variables and decrease in the others, we obtain conditions when a…

Linearisation is often used as a first step in the analysis of nonlinear initial boundary value problems. The linearisation procedure frequently results in a confusing contradiction where the nonlinear problem conserves energy and has an…
This work is devoted to the study of first order linear problems with involution and general linear conditions. We first study the problem in the case of antiperiodic boundary conditions, giving an explicit Green's function for it. Then we…
We consider Broyden's method and some accelerated schemes for nonlinear equations having a strongly regular singularity of first order with a one-dimensional nullspace. Our two main results are as follows. First, we show that the use of a…
The bivariate difference field provides an algebraic framework for a sequence satisfying a recurrence of order two. Based on this, we focus on sequences satisfying a recurrence of higher order, and consider the multivariate difference…
Linear differential equations and recurrences reveal many properties about their solutions. Therefore, these equations are well-suited for representing solutions and computing with special functions. We identify a large class of existing…
