Optimal existence theory for single and multiple positive periodic solutions to functional difference equations

This paper presents a new optimal existence theory for single and multiple positive periodic solutions to functional difference equations. Existence is established using a fixed point theorem in cones. We illustrate our theory be examining several biomathematical models.
