Monotone iterative technique with respect to initial time difference for initial value problem for difference equations with maxima

Abstract

In this paper a special type of difference equations is investigated. The impulses start abruptly at some points and their action continue on given finite intervals. This type of equations is used to model a real process. An algorithm, namely, the monotone iterative technique is suggested to solve the initial value problem for nonlinear difference equations with noninstantaneous impulses 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 with non-instantaneous impulses, and a formula for its explicit form is given. It is proved both sequences are convergent and their limits are minimal and maximal solutions of the considered problem.
