Difference Equations, Discrete Dynamical Systems and Applications

The book presents the proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Difference Equations and Applications, ICDEA 2017, held at the West University of Timioara, Romania, under the auspices of the International Society of Difference Equations (ISDE), July 24 - 28, 2017. It includes new and significant contributions in the field of difference equations, discrete dynamical systems and their applications in various sciences. Disseminating recent studies and related results and promoting advances, the book appeals to PhD students, researchers, educators and practitioners in the field.
