Difference Equations, Second Edition (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780442001360)

The second edition of Difference Equations: Theory and Applications provides a thorough listing of all major theorems along with proofs. The text treats the case of first-order difference equations in detail, using both analytical and geometrical methods. Both ordinary and partial difference equations are considered, along with a variety of special nonlinear forms for which exact solutions can be determined. Numerous worked examples and problems allow readers to fully understand the material in the text. Expanded coverage of applications from the mathematical, biological, physical, and social sciences helps readers appreciate the benefits of using difference equations in the modeling and analysis of "realistic" problems from a broad range of fields.
