Solving systems of nonlinear difference equations by the multiple scales perturbation method

In this paper, we apply an improved version of the multiple scales perturbation method to a system of weakly nonlinear, regularly perturbed ordinary difference equations. Such systems arise as a result of the discretization of a system of nonlinear differential equations, or as a result in the stability analysis of nonlinear oscillations. In our...

On asymptotic approximations of first integrals for second order difference equations

In this paper, the concept of invariance factors for second order difference equations to obtain first integrals or invariants will be presented. It will be shown that all invariance factors have to satisfy a functional equation. Van Horssen (J. Indones. Math. Soc. 13:1–15, 2007) developed a perturbation method for a single first order...

On the multiple scales perturbation method for difference equations

In the classical multiple scales perturbation method for ordinary difference equations (O Delta Es) as developed in 1977 by Hoppensteadt and Miranker, difference equations (describing the slow dynamics of the problem) are replaced at a certain moment in the perturbation procedure by ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Taking into account the...
