On Periodic Solutions of Second Order Linear Difference Equations

Abstract

In this paper, we apply a new procedure initially developed in Refs. [H. El-Owaidy and H.Y. Mohamed. "On the periodic solutions for nth order difference equations". Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computation , (to appear); "The necessary and sufficient conditions of existence of periodic solutions of nonautonomous difference equations". Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computation , (to appear)] to simplify the use of Carvalho's method to the case of discrete difference equations, in order to find the periodic solutions of second order linear difference equations. We can also find the complex periodic solutions.
