We show that the condition |a| + |∑+∞l=0bl| < 1 is not necessary, though sufficient, for the asymptotic stability of xn+1 = axn + ∑+∞l=0bn-lxl. We prove the existence of a class of Volterra difference equations (VDEs) that violate this condition but whose zero solutions are asymptotically stable.

We establish the basic theory of almost periodic sequences on Ζ+. Dichotomy techniques are then utilized to find sufficient conditions for the existence of a globally attracting almost periodic solution of a semilinear system of difference equations. These existence results are, subsequently, applied to discretely reproducing populations with and without overlapping generations. Furthermore, we access evidence for attenuance and resonance in almost periodically forced population models.

Let $X$ be a compact space, $f\colon X \to X$ a continuous map, and $\Lambda \subset X$ be any $f$-invariant subset. Assume that there exists a nested family of subsets $\{\Lambda_l\}_{l \geq 1}$ that exhaust $\Lambda$, that is $\Lambda_l \subset\Lambda_{l+1}$ and $\Lambda =\bigcup_{l \geq 1} \Lambda_l$. Assume that the potential $\varphi \colon X \to \mathbb{R}$ is continuous on the closure of each $\Lambda_l$ but not necessarily continuous on $\Lambda$. We define the topological pressure of $\varphi$ on $\Lambda$. This definition is shown to have a corresponding variational principle. We apply the topological pressure and variational principle to systems with non-zero …

We show that a well studied problem in the engineering community is the same as a problem studied by mathematical combinatorialists. Specifically, we show that the question of optimally designing a vector quantizer, which is an important problem in coding theory, is the same as the p-median problem, which is a classic graph theory problem with important applications in operations research. The importance of the relationship lies in the fact that both communities have spent years developing solution methodologies, and this connection permits each community to glean new ideas from the other. We show that two of the most popular …
