DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS – BASIC DEFINITIONS AND PROPERTIES
www.evlm.stuba.sk/~partner2/DBfiles/ode-difference_eqs/difference_…The equation is a linear homogeneous difference equation of the second order. If we assign two initial conditions by the equalities uuunnn+2=++1 uu01=1, 1= , the sequence uu()n n 0 ∞ = =, which is obtained from that equation, is the well-known Fibonacci sequence. It is easy to calculate that it is as follows: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 ...

This type of equation occurs frequently in various sciences, as we will see. An example of a linear equation is because, for , it can be written in the form

Let us start with equations in one variable, (1) xt +axt−1 = bt This is a first-order difference equation because only one lag of x appears. In this equation, a is a time-independent coefficient and bt is the forcing term. When bt = 0, the difference

https://services.math.duke.edu/education/ccp/materials/linalg/diffeqs/...A linear difference equation is also called a linear recurrence relation, because it can be used to compute recursively each ykfrom the preceding y-values. More specifically, if y0is specified, then there is a uniquesequence {yk}that satisfies the equation, for we can calculate, for k = 0, 1, 2, and so on, y1= z0- a y0, y2= z1- a y1, and so on.
