A classification scheme for nonoscillatory solutions of a higher order neutral difference equation

Advances in Difference Equations volume 2006, Article number: 047654 (2006) Cite this article

Abstract

Nonoscillatory solutions of a nonlinear neutral type higher order difference equations are classified by means of their asymptotic behaviors. By means of the Kranoselskii's fixed point theorem, existence criteria are then provided for justification of such classification.
