Advances in difference equations : proceedings of the Second International Conference on Difference Equations : Veszprém, Hungary, August 7-11, 1995

The recent surge in research activity in difference equations and applications has been driven by the wide applicability of discrete models to such diverse fields as biology, engineering, physics, economics, chemistry, and psychology. The 68 papers that make up this book were presented by an international group of experts at the Second International Conference on Difference Equations, held in Veszprém, Hungary, in August, 1995. Featuring contributions on such topics as orthogonal polynomials, control theory, asymptotic behavior of solutions, stability theory, special functions, numerical analysis, oscillation theory, models of vibrating string, models of chemical reactions, discrete competition systems, the Liouville-Green (WKB) method, and chaotic phenomena, this volume offers a comprehensive review of the state of the art in this exciting field.

Abstract. A continuous stirred tank reactor or a coal char combustion model described by the system T= -BT + BDaCe , C = 1 - C - DaCe will be investigated where T and C are dimensionless temperature and concentration, respectively, ,B, B and Da are positive parameters, and the dot means the time derivative.
