In this paper, we are interested in analyzing the dynamics of the fourth-order difference equation $x_{n+4} = \max\{x_{n+3},x_{n+2},x_{n+1},0\}-x_n$, with arbitrary real initial conditions. We fully determine the accumulation point sets of…

In this paper we consider $m$ ($m \geq 1$)conjunctions of Max-atoms that is atoms of the form $\max(z,y) + r \geq x$, where the offset $r$ is a real constant and $x,y,z$ are variables. We show that the Max-atom problem (MAP) belongs to…

We consider the recursive equation ``x(n+1)=A(n)x(n)'' where x(n+1) and x(n) are column vectors of size k and where A(n) is an irreducible random matrix of size k x k. The matrix-vector multiplication in the (max,+) algebra is defined by…

Let $S=\{x^2+c_1, x^2+c_2,\dots, x^2+c_s\}$ be a set of quadratic polynomials with rational coefficients, and let $P$ be a rational basepoint. We classify the pairs $(S,P)$ for which $P$ has finite orbit for $S$, assuming that the maximum…

We obtain the solution of the fourth order difference equation $$ x_{n+1}=\frac{ \alpha x_{n-3}}{A+B x_{n-1}x_{n-3}}$$ with the initial conditions; $x_{-3}=d,$ $x_{-2}=c,$ $x_{-1}=b,$ and $x_{0}=a$ are arbitrary nonzero real numbers,…

We investigate the boundedness of positive solutions of the reciprocal max-type difference equation \[ x_{n}=\max\left\{\frac{A_{n-1}^{1}}{x_{n-1}}, \frac{A_{n-1}^{2}}{x_{n-2}}, \ldots, \frac{A_{n-1}^{t}}{x_{n-t}}\right\}, \ \ n=1, 2,…

In this paper it is dealt with the following system of difference equations x_{n+1}=((a_{n})/(x_{n}))+((b_{n})/(y_{n})), y_{n+1}=((c_{n})/(x_{n}))+((d_{n})/(y_{n})), n in N_0, where the initial values x_0,y_0 are positive real numbers and…

By introducing a max-plus dynamical system having limit cycles, we discuss their periodicity, especially the number of discrete states in them. We also find that quasi-periodic cycles exist depending on the bifurcation parameter in the…

We show that the set of realizations of a given dimension of a max-plus linear sequence is a finite union of polyhedral sets, which can be computed from any realization of the sequence. This yields an (expensive) algorithm to solve the…

We classify the sets of natural numbers $n$ for which certain dynamical systems $(X,f)$ on a compact metric space $X$ have a periodic point of (least) period $n$. Interest in this question dates back to Sharkovskii's theorem for continuous…

After giving an overview of the existing theory regarding the periods of sequences defined by linear recurrences over finite fields, we give explicit descriptions of the sets of periods that arise if one considers all sequences over…

We compute the type (maximum linearization) of the well partial order of bounded lower sets in $\mathbb{N}^m$, ordered under inclusion, and find it is $\omega^{\omega^{m-1}}$. Moreover we compute the type of the set of all lower sets in…

We establish the following max-plus analogue of Minkowski's theorem. Any point of a compact max-plus convex subset of $(R\cup\{-\infty\})^n$ can be written as the max-plus convex combination of at most $n+1$ of the extreme points of this…

Let $\mathrm{rex}(n, F)$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that is regular and does not contain $F$ as a subgraph. We give lower bounds on $\mathrm{rex}(n, F)$, that are best possible up to a constant factor, when…

The paper studies the existence of periodic solutions of a perturbed relativistic Kepler problem of the type \begin{equation*} \dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}\left(\frac{m\dot{x}}{\sqrt{1-|\dot{x}|^{2}/c^{2}}}\right) =…

While iterating the quadratic polynomial f_{c}(x)=x^{2}+c the degree of the iterates grows very rapidly, and therefore solving the equations corresponding to periodic orbits becomes very difficult even for periodic orbits with a low period.…

Let $X$ be a centered random variable with unit variance, zero third moment, and such that $E[X^4] \ge 3$. Let $\{F_n : n\geq 1\}$ denote a normalized sequence of homogeneous sums of fixed degree $d\geq 2$, built from independent copies of…

This work deals with the semi linear equation $-\Delta u+u-u^p=0$ in $\R^N$, $2\leq p<{N+2\over N-2}$. We consider the positive solutions which are ${2\pi\over\ep}$-periodic in $x_1$ and decreasing to 0 in the other variables, uniformly in…

We obtain solutions to the recursive sequences of the form $$x_{n + 1} = \frac{x_{n - 3}x_{n }}{x_{n - 2}(a_n + b_nx_{n -3}x_{n})}$$ where $a_n$ and $b_n$ are arbitrary sequences of real numbers, and the initial values are gives as;…

Let $f_4(n)$ be the number of hyperquaternary representations of $n$ and $b_4(n)$ be the number of balanced quaternary representations of $n$. We show that there is no integer $k$ such that $f_4(n+k)=b_4(n)$ for all $n\ge -k$, in contrast…
