Synopsis

This study of difference equations with public health applications develops the methodology for the solution of the general kth order linear difference equation using the generating function approach. It includes an examination of the dynamics of disease spread and containment in populations using illness-death models. There are over 1000 featured mathematical expressions.

About this title

Review

." . .the book describes some useful methods for solving difference equations and can be recommended as a source of interesting examples of applications." ---European Mathematical Society Newsletter, 2000 "provides a comprehensive discussion of difference equations that help to obtain analytic solutions to probabilistic models of dynamic health systems in clinical research and epidemiologythe material in the book is valuable if the reader is interested in finding a solution to formulated difference equation of a given dynamic health system." -Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, Vol. 75, No. 4, April 2005
