On Solutions of Nonlinear Functional Differential Equations

Nonlinear difference equations of order greater than one are of paramount importance in applications. Such equations appear naturally as a discrete analogues and as numerical solutions of differential equations and delay differential equations. They have models in various diverse phenomena in biology, ecology, physiology, physics, engineering and economics. Our goal in this thesis is understanding the dynamics of nonlinear difference equations to construct the basic theory of this ?led. We believe that the results of this thesis are prototypes towards the development of the basic theory of the global behavior of solutions of nonlinear difference equations of order greater than one. Now we are going to give some examples for applications of difference equations.
