1 Introduction and preliminaries
|
|
|
The term difference equation refers to a specific type of recurrence relation a mathematical relationship expressing xn as some combination of xi with i < n. These equations usually appear as discrete mathematical models of many biological and environmental phenomena such as population growth and predatorprey interactions (see, e.g., [8] and [18]), and so these equations are studied
|
|
|
|
|
|
1
|
|
|
|
|
|
because of their rich and complex dynamics. Recently, the problem of finding
|
|
|
|
|
|
closed-form solutions of rational difference equations and systems of rational of
|
|
|
|
|
|
difference equations have gained considerable interest from many mathemati-
|
|
|
|
|
|
cians. In fact, countless papers have been published previously focusing on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
aforementioned topic, see for example [5, 6, 7, 16, 20] and [21]. Interestingly,
|
|
|
|
|
|
some of the solution forms of these equations are even expressible in terms of
|
|
|
|
|
|
well-known integer sequences such as the Fibonacci numbers, Horadam numbers
|
|
|
|
|
|
and Padovan numbers (see, e.g., [9, 11, 12, 14, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 34]).
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is well-known that linear recurrences with constant coefficients, such as
|
|
|
|
|
|
the recurrence relation Fn+1 = Fn + Fn-1 defining the Fibonacci numbers, can be solved through various techniques (see, e.g., [17]). Finding the closed-
|
|
|
|
|
|
form solutions of nonlinear types of difference equations, however, are far more
|
|
|
|
|
|
interesting and challenging compared to those of linear types. In fact, as far
|
|
|
|
|
|
as we know, there has no known general method to deal with different classes
|
|
|
|
|
|
of difference equations solvable in closed-forms. Nevertheless, numerous studies
|
|
|
|
|
|
have recently dealt with finding appropriate techniques in solving closed-form
|
|
|
|
|
|
solutions of some systems of difference equations (see, e.g., [2, 5, 6, 7, 15, 23]).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Motivated by these aforementioned works, we investigate the rational differ-
|
|
|
|
|
|
ence equation
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn+1
|
|
|
|
|
|
=
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn-1 + xn xn-1

|
n N0, .

|
|
|
|
|
|
Particularly, we seek to find its closed-form solution and examine the global
|
|
|
|
|
|
stability of its positive solutions. We establish the solution form of equation
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1) using appropriate transformation reducing the equation into a linear type
|
|
|
|
|
|
difference equation. Also, we examine the solution form of the two-dimensional
|
|
|
|
|
|
analogue of equation (1) given in the following more general form
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn+1
|
|
|
|
|
|
=
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn-1 + yn xn-1
|
|
|
|
|
|
,
|
|
|
|
|
|
yn+1
|
|
|
|
|
|
=
|
|
|
|
|
|
yn-1 + xn yn-1

|
|
|
|
|
n N0.

|
|
|
|
|
|
The case = = = 1 has been studied by Tollu, Yazlik and Taskara in [34]. The authors in [34] established the solution form of system (2) (in the case = = = 1) through induction principle.
|
|
|
The paper is organized as follows. In the next section (Section 2), we review some definitions and important results necessary for the success of our study, and this includes a brief discussion about generalized Padovan numbers. In section 3 and 4, we established the respective solution forms of equations (1) and the system (2), and examine their respective stability properties. Finally, we end our paper with a short summary in Section 5.

2 Preliminaries
|
|
|
2.1 Linearized stability of an equation
|
|
|
Let I be an interval of real numbers and let F : Ik+1 - I
|
|
|
|
|
|
2
|
|
|
|
|
|
be a continuously differentiable function. Consider the difference equation
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn+1 = F (xn, xn-1, . . . , xn-k)
|
|
|
|
|
|
(3)
|
|
|
|
|
|
with initial values x0, x-1, . . . x-k I..
|
|
|
|
|
|
Definition 1. A point x I is called an equilibrium point of equation(3) if
|
|
|
|
|
|
x = F (x, x, . . . , x).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Definition 2. Let x be an equilibrium point of equation(3).
|
|
|
|
|
|
i) The equilibrium x is called locally stable if for every > 0, there exist > 0 such that for allx-k, x-k+1, . . . x0 I with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|x-k - x| + |x-k+1 - x| + . . . + |x0 - x| < ,
|
|
|
|
|
|
we have |xn - x| < , for all n -k.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ii) The equilibrium x is called locally asymptotically stable if it is locally stable, and if there exists > 0 such that if x-1, x0 I and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|x-k - x| + |x-k+1 - x| + . . . + |x0 - x| < ,
|
|
|
|
|
|
then
|
|
|
|
|
|
lim
|
|
|
n+
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn
|
|
|
|
|
|
=
|
|
|
|
|
|
x.
|
|
|
|
|
|
iii) The equilibrium x is called global attractor if for all x-k, x-k+1, . . . x0 I, we have
|
|
|
|
|
|
lim
|
|
|
n+
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn
|
|
|
|
|
|
=
|
|
|
|
|
|
x.
|
|
|
|
|
|
iv) The equilibrium x is called global asymptotically stable if it is locally stable and a global attractor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v) The equilibrium x is called unstable if it is not stable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
vi)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let
|
|
|
|
|
|
pi =
|
|
|
|
|
|
f ui
|
|
|
|
|
|
(x,
|
|
|
|
|
|
x,
|
|
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
|
|
,
|
|
|
|
|
|
x),
|
|
|
|
|
|
i = 0, 1, . . . , k.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then,
|
|
|
|
|
|
the
|
|
|
|
|
|
equation
|
|
|
|
|
|
yn+1 = p0yn + p1yn-1 + . . . + pkyn-k,
|
|
|
|
|
|
(4)
|
|
|
|
|
|
is called the linearized equation of equation (3) about the equilibrium point x.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The next result, which was given by Clark [3], provides a sufficient condition for the locally asymptotically stability of equation (3).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Theorem 1 ([3]). Consider the difference equation (4). Let pi R, then,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|p0| + |p1| + . . . + |pk| < 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
is a sufficient condition for the locally asymptotically stability of equation (3).

|
|
|

2.2 Linearized stability of the second-order systems
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let f and g be two continuously differentiable functions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
f : I2 × J 2 - I, g : I2 × J 2 - J, I, J R
|
|
|
|
|
|
and for n N0, consider the system of difference equations
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn+1 = f (xn, xn-1, yn, yn-1) yn+1 = g (xn, xn-1, yn, yn-1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
(5)
|
|
|
|
|
|
where (x-1, x0) I2 and (y-1, y0) J 2. Define the map H : I2 ×J 2 - I2 ×J 2 by
|
|
|
H(W ) = (f0(W ), f1(W ), g0(W ), g1(W ))
|
|
|
where W = (u0, u1, v0, v1)T , f0(W ) = f (W ), f1(W ) = u0, g0(W ) = g(W ), g1(W ) = v0. Let Wn = [xn, xn-1, yn, yn-1]T . Then, we can easily see that system (5) is equivalent to the following system written in vector form
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wn+1 = H(Wn), n = 0, 1, . . . ,
|
|
|
|
|
|
(6)
|
|
|
|
|
|
that is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn+1
|
|
|
|
|
|
=
|
|
|
|
|
|
f (xn, xn-1, yn, yn-1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn
|
|
|
|
|
|
yn+1
|
|
|
|
|
|
= =
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn g (xn, xn-1, yn, yn-1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
yn = yn
|
|
|
|
|
|
Definition 3 (Equilibrium point). An equilibrium point (x, y) I ×J of system (5) is a solution of the system
|
|
|
|
|
|
x = f (x, x, y, y) , y = g (x, x, y, y) .
|
|
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, an equilibrium point W I2 × J2 of system (6) is a solution of the system
|
|
|
W = H(W ).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Definition 4 (Stability). Let W be an equilibrium point of system (6) and . be any norm (e.g. the Euclidean norm).
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The equilibrium point W is called stable (or locally stable) if for every > 0 exist such that W0 - W < implies Wn - W < for n 0.
|
|
|
2. The equilibrium point W is called asymptotically stable (or locally asymptotically stable) if it is stable and there exist > 0 such that W0-W < implies Wn - W 0, n +.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. The equilibrium point W is said to be global attractor (respectively global attractor with basin of attraction a set G I2 × J2, if for every W0 (respectively for every W0 G)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wn - W 0, n +.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. The equilibrium point W is called globally asymptotically stable (respectively globally asymptotically stable relative to G) if it is asymptotically stable, and if for every W0 (respectively for every W0 G),
|
|
|
Wn - W 0, n +.
|
|
|
5. The equilibrium point W is called unstable if it is not stable.
|
|
|
Remark 1. Clearly, (x, y) I × J is an equilibrium point for system (5) if and only if W = (x, x, , y, y, ) I2 × J2 is an equilibrium point of system (6).
|
|
|
From here on, by the stability of the equilibrium points of system (5), we mean the stability of the corresponding equilibrium points of the equivalent system (6).

2.3 Generalized Padovan sequence
|
|
|
The integer sequence defined by the recurrence relation
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pn+1 = Pn-1 + Pn-2, n N,
|
|
|
|
|
|
(7)
|
|
|
|
|
|
with the initial conditions P-2 = 0, P-1 = 0, P0 = 1 (so P0 = P1 = P2 = 1), is known as the Padovan numbers and was named after Richard Padovan. This is the same recurrence relation as for the Perrin sequence, but with different initial conditions (P0 = 3, P1 = 0, P2 = 2). The first few terms of the recurrence sequence are 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, . . .. The Binet's formula for this recurrence sequence can easily be obtained and is given by

3 Closed-Form solutions and stability of equation (1)
|
|
|
For the rest of our discussion we assume Sn, the n-th generalized Padovan number, to satisfy the recurrence equation
|
|
|
Sn+1 = pSn-1 + qSn-2, n N0,
|
|
|
with initial conditions S-2 = 0, S-1 = 0, S0 = 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.1 Closed-Form solutions of equation (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this section, we derive the solution form of equation (1) through an analytical
|
|
|
|
|
|
approach.
|

put

q

|
|
|
|
|

,
|
|
|
|
|
|
hence
|
|
|
|
|
|
we
|

|
|
|
have
|
|
|
|
|
|
the
|
|
|
|
|
|
equation
|
|
|
|
|

xn+1
|
|
|

|
|
=

|
|

pxn-1 + xnxn-1
|
|
|

|
q
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
n N0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(9)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consider the equivalent form of equation (9) given by
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn+1
|
|
|
|
|
|
=
|
|
|
|
|
|
p xn
|
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
|
q xn xn-1
|
|
|
|
|
|
which, upon the change of variable xn+1 = zn+1/zn, transforms into
|
|
|
|
|
|
zn+1 = pzn-1 + qzn-2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(10)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, we iterate the right hand side of equation (10) as follows
|
|
|
|
|
|
zn+1 = pzn-1 + qzn-2 = qzn-2 + p2zn-3 + qpzn-4 = p2zn-3 + 2pqzn-4 + q2zn-5 = 2pqzn-4 + (p3 + q2)zn-5 + qp2zn-6 = (p3 + q2)zn-5 + 3p2qzn-6 + 2pq2zn-7 = 3p2qzn-6 + (p4 + 3pq2)zn-7 + (p3 + q3)zn-8 = (p4 + 3pq2)zn-7 + (q3 + 4qp3)zn-8 + 3p2q2zn-9 ...
|
|
|
= Sn+1z0 + Sn+2z-1 + Snqz-2.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

Hence,
|
|

xn+1

The above computations prove the following result.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Theorem 2. Let {xn}n-1 be a solution of (9). Then, for n = 1, 2, . . . ,
|
|
|

(11)
|
|
|
|
|
|
where the initial conditions x-1, x0 R - F , with F is the Forbidden Set of equation (9) given by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
F=
|
|
|
|
|
|
(x-1, x0) : Snx-1 + Sn-1x0x-1 + qSn-2 = 0 .
|
|
|
|
|
|
n=-1
|
|
|
|
|
|
If = = , then from (11) we get
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn
|
|
|
|
|
|
=
|
|
|

Pn+1x-1 Pnx-1 +

|
|

.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hence, for = = we have Sn = Pn, n N, and consequently we get the solution given in [34].

3.2 Global stability of solutions of equation (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this section we study the global stability character of the solutions of equation
|
|
|
(9). It is easy to show that eqrefeq1 has a unique positive equilibrium point given by x = . Let I = (0, +), and consider the function f : I2 - I defined by
|
|
|
|
|
|
f (x,
|
|
|
|
|
|
y)
|
|
|
|
|
|
=

|
.

|
|
|
|
|
Theorem 3. The equilibrium point x is locally asymptotically stable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Proof. The linearized equation of equation (9) about the equilibrium x is
|
|
|
|
|
|
yn+1 = t1yn + t2yn-1
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
and the characteristic polynomial is
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 + t1 + t2 = 0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consider the two functions defined by
|
|
|
|
|
|
a() = 2, b() = -(t1 + t2).
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have Then
|
|
|
|
|
|
pR2 + 12p2 + 12qR

|

|
|
< 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|b()| < |a()| , : || = 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thus, by Rouche's theorem, all zeros of P () = a() - b() = 0 lie in || < 1. So, by Theorem (1) we get that x is locally asymptotically stable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Theorem 4. The equilibrium point x is globally asymptotically stable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Proof. Let {xn}n-k be a solution of equation (9). By Theorem (3) we need only to prove that E is global attractor, that is
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

it follows from Theorem (2) that

Then

4.1 Closed-form solutions of system (2)
|

In this section, we derive the respective solution form of system (2). We put

Proof. The closed-form solution of (13) can be established through a similar approach we used in proving the one-dimensional case. However, for convenience, we shall prove the theorem by induction. For the basis step, we have
|
|
|
|
|
|
x1
|
|
|
|
|
|
=
|
|
|
|
|
|
px-1 + q y0x-1
|
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
|
y1
|
|
|

|
=
|

|
|
|
|
|
q
|
|
|
|
|
|
,
|
|
|
|
|
|
so the result clearly holds for n = 0. Suppose that n > 0 and that our assumption holds for n - 1. That is,

Now it follows from system (13) that
|

|
|

So, we have

Also it follows from system (13) that

y2n

|
|
|
=
|
|
|
|

py2n-2 + q x2n-1 y2n-2

=

p

Hence, we have

4.2 Global attractor of solutions of system (2)

Our aim in this section is to study the asymptotic behavior of positive solutions of system (13). Let I = J = (0, +), and consider the functions
|
|
|
|
|
|
f : I2 × J 2 - I and g : I2 × J 2 - J
|

|
|

defined by

5 Summary and Recommendations
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this work, we have successfully established the closed-form solution of the rational difference equation
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn+1
|
|
|
|
|
|
=
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn-1 + xn xn-1
|
|
|
|
|
|
as well as the closed-form solutions of its corresponding two-dimensional case
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn+1
|
|
|
|
|
|
=
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn-1 + yn xn-1
|
|
|
|
|
|
,
|
|
|
|
|
|
yn+1
|
|
|
|
|
|
=
|
|
|
|
|
|
yn-1 + xn yn-1
|
|
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, we obtained stability results for the positive solutions of these systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Particularly, we have shown that the positive solutions of each of these equations
|
|
|
|
|
|
tends to a computable finite number, and is in fact expressible in terms of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
well-known plastic number. Meanwhile, for future investigation, one could also
|
|
|
|
|
|
derive the closed-form solution and examine the stability of solutions of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
system
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn+1
|
|
|
|
|
|
=
|
|
|
|
|
|
xn-1 - yn xn-1
|
|
|
|
|
|
,
|
|
|
|
|
|
yn+1
|
|
|
|
|
|
=
|
|
|
|
|
|
yn-1 ± xn yn-1
|
|
|
|
|
|
.
