On nonlinear boundary value problems in the discrete setting

ABSTRACT

Results appearing in this paper can be used to establish the solvability of nonlinear discrete time systems subject to generalized nonlinear boundary conditions. Two separate sets of results are established, each of which can be used to establish existence of solutions to problems for which previous related work proves inconclusive. The first set of results imposes conditions on the sizes of nonlinearities, while the second framework requires geometric properties of the nonlinearity in the dynamics.
