The article investigates a second-order nonlinear difference equation of Emden-Fowler type Δ 2 u ( k ) ± k α u m ( k ) = 0 , {\Delta }^{2}u\left(k)\pm {k}^{\alpha }{u}^{m}\left(k)=0, where k k is the independent variable with values k = k 0 , k 0 + 1 , … k={k}_{0},{k}_{0}+1,\ldots \hspace{0.33em} , u : { k 0 , k 0 + 1 , … } → R u:\left\{{k}_{0},{k}_{0}+1,\ldots \hspace{0.33em}\right\}\to {\mathbb{R}} is the dependent variable, k 0 {k}_{0} is a fixed integer, and Δ 2 u ( k ) {\Delta }^{2}u\left(k) is its second-order forward difference. New conditions with respect to parameters α ∈ R \alpha \in {\mathbb{R}} and m ∈ R m\in {\mathbb{R}} , m ≠ 1 m\ne 1 , are found such that the equation admits a solution asymptotically represented by a power function that is asymptotically equivalent to the exact solution of the nonlinear second-order differential Emden-Fowler equation y ″ ( x ) ± x α y m ( x ) = 0 . {y}^{^{\prime\prime} }\left(x)\pm {x}^{\alpha }{y}^{m}\left(x)=0. Two-term asymptotic representations are given not only for the solution itself but also for its first- and second-order forward differences as well. Previously known results are discussed, and illustrative examples are considered.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
