Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

There has been great recent interest in investigating the solvability and long-term behavior of solutions to linear and nonlinear difference equations and systems of difference equations of various types. One of the reasons for the interest is potential application of the methods, ideas and results related to the equations and systems of equations in some other branches of sciences, such as ecology, economics, biology, physics, population theory, etc. The mid-1990s started a considerable interest in concrete nonlinear difference equations and systems. If a difference equation is defined through a function of two variables, it is natural to form and study the corresponding two-dimensional symmetric system of difference equations, as well as some related systems, which are called close to symmetric systems of difference equations. In a similar way, cyclic systems of difference equations can be formed. This Special Issue is devoted to these and some related areas, which are popular nowadays.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

We study asymptotic behavior of nonoscillatory solutions to second-order neutral difference equation of the form: Δ ( r n Δ ( x n + p n x n − τ ) ) = a n f ( n , x n ) + b n . The obtained results are based on the discrete Bihari type lemma and a Stolz type lemma. Full article

In this paper, we study the stability of the zero equilibria of two close-to-symmetric systems of difference equations with exponential terms in the special case in which one of their eigenvalues is equal to − 1 and the other eigenvalue has an absolute value of less than 1. In the present study, we use the approach of center manifold theory. Full article

By using some solvability methods and the contraction mapping principle are investigated bounded, as well as periodic solutions to some classes of nonhomogeneous linear second-order difference equations on domains N 0 , Z ∖ N 2 and Z . The case when the coefficients of the equation are constant and the zeros of the characteristic polynomial associated to the corresponding homogeneous equation do not belong to the unit circle is described in detail.
