This volume comprises selected papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on Difference Equations which was held at Augsburg, Germany. It covers all themes in the fields of discrete dynamical systems and ordinary and partial difference equations, classical and contemporary, theoretical and applied. It provides a useful reference text for graduates and researchers working in this area of mathematics.

Sharkovsky's Theorem, Li and Yorke's "period three implies chaos" result, and the (3x+1) conjecture are beautiful and deep results that demonstrate the rich periodic character of first-order, nonlinear difference equations. To date, however, we still know surprisingly little about higher-order nonlinear difference equations.
During the last ten years, the authors of this book have been fascinated with discovering periodicities in equations of higher order which for certain values of their parameters have one of the following characteristics:
1.Every solution of the equation is...

The Eighth International Conference on Difference Equations and Applications wa held at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic. This volume comprises refereed papers presented at this conference. These papers cover all important themes, conjectures, and open problems in the fields of discrete dynamical systems and ordinary and partial difference equations, classical and contemporary, theoretical and applied.
