Some sufficient conditions for the existence of bounded nonoscillatory solutions of this equation are established by using Schauder fixed point theorem and Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem and expatiated through seven theorems according to the range of value of the sequence {b n } n≥n 0 . Moreover, these sufficient conditions guarantee that this equation has not only one bounded nonoscillatory solution but also uncountably many bounded nonoscillatory solutions. 1. Introduction and Preliminaries Recently, the interest in the study of the solvability of difference equations has been increasing see 1 –17 and references cited therein.

Motivated and inspired by the papers mentioned above, in t his paper, we investigate the following higher-order nonlinear neutral delay difference equation: Δ  a kn ···Δ  a 2n Δ  a 1n Δ  x n  b n x n−d   f  n, x n−r 1n ,x n−r 2n , ,x n−r sn   0,n≥ n 0 , 1.11 where n 0 ≥ 0, d>0, k>0, and s>0 are integers, {a in } n≥n 0 i  1, 2, ,k and {b n } n≥n 0 are real sequences,  s j1 {r jn } n≥n 0 ⊆ Z,andf : {n : n ≥ n 0 }×R s → R is a mapping. Clearly, difference Advances in Difference Equations 3 equations 1.1–1.10 are special cases of 1.11. By using Schauder fixed point theorem and Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem, the existence of bounded nonoscillatory solutions of 1.11 is established. Lemma 1.1 Schauder fixed point theorem. Let Ω be a nonempty closed convex subset of a Banach space X.LetT : Ω → Ω be a continuous mapping such that TΩ is a relatively compact subset of X. Then T has at least one fixed point in Ω. Lemma 1.2 Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem. Let Ω be a bounded closed convex subset of a Banach space X, and let T 1 ,T 2 : Ω → X satisfy T 1 x  T 2 y ∈ Ω for each x,y ∈ Ω.IfT 1 is a contraction mapping and T 2 is a completely continuous mapping, then the equation T 1 x T 2 x  x has at least one solution in Ω. The forward difference Δ is defined as usual, that is, Δx n  x n1 − x n . The higher-order difference for a positive integer m is defined as Δ m x n ΔΔ m−1 x n , Δ 0 x n  x n . Throughout this paper, assume that R −∞, ∞, N and Z stand for the sets of all positive integers and integers, respectively, α  inf{n − r jn :1≤ j ≤ s, n ≥ n 0 }, β  min{n 0 − d, α}, lim n →∞ n − r jn ∞, 1 ≤ j ≤ s, and l ∞ β denotes the set of real sequences defined on the set of positive integers lager than β where any individual sequence is bounded with respect to the usual supremum norm x  sup n≥β |x n | for x  {x n } n≥β ∈ l ∞ β . I t is well known that l ∞ β is a Banach space under the supremum norm. A subset Ω of a Banach space X is relatively compact if every sequence in Ω has a subsequence converging to an element of X. Definition 1.3 see 5.AsetΩ of sequences in l ∞ β is uniformly Cauchy or equi-Cauchy if, for every ε>0, there exists an integer N 0 such that   x i − x j   <ε, 1.12 whenever i, j > N 0 for any x  {x k } k≥β in Ω. Lemma 1.4 discrete Arzela-Ascoli’s theorem 5. A bounded, uniformly Cauchy subset Ω of l ∞ β is relatively compact. Let A  M, N    x  { x n } n≥β ∈ l ∞ β : M ≤ x n ≤ N, ∀n ≥ β  for N>M>0. 1.13 Obviously, AM, N is a bounded closed and convex subset of l ∞ β .Put b  lim sup n →∞ b n ,b lim inf n →∞ b n . 1.14 By a solution of 1.11, we mean a sequence {x n } n≥β with a positive integer N 0 ≥ n 0  d  |α| such that 1.11 is satisfied for all n ≥ N 0 . As is customary, a solution of 1.11 is said to be oscillatory about zero, or simply oscillatory, if the terms x n of the sequence {x n } n≥β are neither eventually all positive nor eventually all negative. Otherwise, t he solution is called nonoscillatory. 4 Advances in Difference Equations 2. Existence of Nonoscillatory Solutions In this section, a few sufficient conditions of the existence of bounded nonoscillatory solutions of 1.11 are given. Theorem 2.1. Assume that there exist constants M and N with N>M>0 and sequences {a in } n≥n 0 1 ≤ i ≤ k, {b n } n≥n 0 , {h n } n≥n 0 , and {q n } n≥n 0 such that, for n ≥ n 0 , b n ≡−1, eventually, 2.1   f  n, u 1 ,u 2 , ,u s  − f  n, v 1 ,v 2 , ,v s    ≤ h n max {| u i − v i | : u i ,v i ∈  M, N  , 1 ≤ i ≤ s } , 2.2   f  n, u 1 ,u 2 , ,u s    ≤ q n ,u i ∈  M, N  , 1 ≤ i ≤ s, 2.3 ∞  tn 0 max  1 | a it | ,h t ,q t :1≤ i ≤ k  < ∞. 2.4 Then 1.11 has a bounded nonoscillatory solution in AM, N.

This completes the proof. Theorem 2.4. Assume that there exist constants b, M, and N with N>M>0 and sequences {a in } n≥n 0 1 ≤ i ≤ k, {b n } n≥n 0 , {h n } n≥n 0 , {q n } n≥n 0 , satisfying 2.2–2.4 and | b n | ≤ b< N − M 2N , eventually. 2.23 Then 1.11 has a bounded nonoscillatory solution in AM, N. 10 Advances in Difference Equations Proof.

In fact, for every x, y ∈ AM, N and n ≥ N 0 , it follows from 2.3, 2.24 that  T 1L x  T 2L y  n ≥ L − bN − ∞  t 1 N 0 ∞  t 2 t 1 ··· ∞  t k t k−1 ∞  tt k q t     k i1 a it i    ≥ M,  T 1L x  T 2L y  n ≤ L  bN  ∞  t 1 N 0 ∞  t 2 t 1 ··· ∞  t k t k−1 ∞  tt k q t     k i1 a it i    ≤ N. 2.26 That is, T 1L x  T 2L yAM, N ⊆ AM, N. ii It is declared that T 1L is a contraction mapping on AM, N.

By Lemma 1.2, there exists x  {x n }∈AM, N such that T 1L x  T 2L x  x, which is a bounded nonoscillatory solution of 1.11. This completes the proof. [...]...
