Oscillatory Nonautonomous Lucas Sequences

The oscillatory behavior of the solutions of the second-order linear nonautonomous equation x(n+1)=a(n)x(n)−b(n)x(n−1),  n∈ℕ0, where a,b:ℕ0→ℝ, is studied. Under the assumption that the sequence b(n) dominates somehow a(n), the amplitude of the oscillations and the asymptotic behavior of its solutio...

description The oscillatory behavior of the solutions of the second-order linear nonautonomous equation x(n+1)=a(n)x(n)−b(n)x(n−1),  n∈ℕ0, where a,b:ℕ0→ℝ, is studied. Under the assumption that the sequence b(n) dominates somehow a(n), the amplitude of the oscillations and the asymptotic behavior of its solutions are also analized.
