The paper deals with boundedness of solutions and uniform asymptotic stability of the zero solution. In our current undertaking, we aim to solve two open problems that were proposed by the author in his book Qualitative theory of Volterra difference equations (2018, Springer, Cham). Our approach centers on finding the appropriate Lyapunov functional that satisfies specific conditions, incorporating the concept of wedges.

In this paper, we focus on the multivariate Hausdorff operator of the form

$$\begin{eqnarray}\mathbf{H}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}}(f)(x)=\int _{(0,+\infty )^{n}}{\displaystyle \frac{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}\big(\frac{x_{1}}{t_{1}},\frac{x_{2}}{t_{2}},\ldots ,\frac{x_{n}}{t_{n}}\big)}{t_{1}t_{2}\cdots t_{n}}}f(t_{1},t_{2},\ldots ,t_{n})\,\mathbf{dt},\end{eqnarray}$$

$\mathbf{dt}=dt_{1}\,dt_{2}\cdots \,dt_{n}$

$\mathbf{dt}=d_{q}t_{1}\,d_{q}t_{2}\cdots d_{q}t_{n}$

We establish a q-Titchmarsh-Weyl theory for singular q-Sturm-Liouville problems. We define q-limit-point and q-limit circle singularities, and we give sufficient conditions which guarantee that the singular point is in a limit-point case. The resolvent is constructed in terms of Green’s function of the problem. We derive the eigenfunction expansion in its series form. A detailed worked example involving Jackson q-Bessel functions is given. This example leads to the completeness of a wide class of q-cylindrical functions.

We introduce the principal matrix solution Z(t, s) of the linear Volterra-type vector integro-dynamic equation and prove that it is the unique matrix solution of We also show that the solution of is unique and given by the variation of parameters formula

This paper deals with criteria of algebraic independence for the derivatives of solutions of diagonal difference systems. The key idea consists in deriving from the commutativity of the differentiation and difference operators a sequence of iterated extensions of the original difference module, thereby setting the problem in the framework of difference Galois theory and finally reducing it to an exercise in linear algebra on the group of divisors of the involved elliptic curve or torus.

A well-known formula of Bendixson states that solutions of first-order differential equations, as functions of their initial conditions, satisfy a certain partial differential equation. A consequence is Alekseev's nonlinear variation of parameters formula. In this paper, corresponding results are proved for difference equations. To achieve this, use is made of the recently introduced concept of alpha derivatives, rather than of differences or of the usual derivatives. This technique allows the results to be generalized to alpha dynamic equations, which include among others ordinary differential and difference equations.
