Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to determine exact solutions of a family of thirtieth-order difference equations with variable coefficients. We use similarity variables obtained via symmetries to lower the order of the equations. We then reverse the transformations and obtain closed form solutions. We compare our solutions to those found in the literature for special cases. We investigate the periodic nature of the solutions and present some numerical examples to confirm the results. Finally, we analyze the stability of the equilibrium points. The method employed in this work can be applied to equations of higher order provided that they admit non zero characteristics.
