Abstract

In this paper the authors investigate special type of difference equations which involve both delays and the maximum value of the unknown function over a past time interval. This type of equations is used to model a real process which present state depends significantly on its maximal value over a past time interval. An appropriate mixed boundary value problem for the given nonlinear difference equation is set up. An algorithm, namely, the monotone iterative technique is suggested to solve this problem approximately. An important feature of our algorithm is that each successive approximation of the unknown solution is equal to the unique solution of an appropriately constructed initial value problem for a linear difference equation with “maxima”, and a formula for its explicit form is given. Also, each approximation is a lower/upper solution of the given nonlinear boundary value problem. Several numerical examples are considered to illustrate the practical application of the suggested algorithm.
