Global Dynamics of Some Discrete Dynamical Systems With Applications [thesis]

Arzu Bilgin
In my first manuscript, I investigate the global character of the difference equation of the form with several period-two solutions, where f is increasing in all its variables. I show that the boundaries of the basins of attractions of different locally asymptotically stable equilibrium solutions or period-two solutions are in fact the global stable manifolds of neighboring saddle or non-hyperbolic equilibrium solutions or periodtwo solutions. An application of my results give global dynamics

In this paper I consider Eq.( 1 ) which has three equilibrium points and up to three minimal period-two solutions which are in North-East ordering. More precisely, I will give sufficient conditions for the precise description of the basins of attraction of different equilibrium points and period-two solutions. The results can be immediately extended to the case of any number of the equilibrium points and the period-two solutions by replicating my main results.
