Abstract

This paper specifically focuses on a specific type of q-difference equations that incorporate multiple delays. The main objective is to explore the existence of positive periodic solutions using coincidence degree theory. Notably, the equation studied in this paper has relevance to important biological growth models constructed on quantum domains. The significance of this research lies in the fact that quantum domains are not translation invariant. By investigating periodic solutions on quantum domains, the paper introduces a new perspective and makes notable advancements in the related literature, which predominantly focuses on translation invariant domains. This research contributes to a better understanding of periodic dynamics in systems governed by q-difference equations with multiple delays, particularly in the context of biological growth models on quantum domains.
