Abstract

In this paper, we deal with the existence of positive periodic solutions of the functional difference system ${ x(n + 1) = A(n)x(n) + F(n, x_n) }$. Moreover we characterize the eigenvalue intervals for ${ x(n + 1) = A(n)x(n) + λH(n)G(x_n) }$. The technique is based on a fixed point theorem in conical shells.
