Matsumoto We consider nonlinear difference equations of the unbounded order of the form xi bi − i a f x , i 0, 1, 2, . . . , where f x j 0, . . . , i are suitable functions. We establish j 0 i,j i−j j j sufficient conditions for the boundedness and the convergence of xi as i → ∞. Some of these conditions are interesting mainly for studying stability of numerical methods for Volterra integral equations. Copyright q 2008 E. Messina et al.
