Approximate solutions for a class of first order nonlinear difference equations

In this paper, a measure-theoretical approach to find the approximate solutions for a class of first order nonlinear difference equations is introduced. In this method the problem is transformed to an equivalent optimization problem. Then, by considering it as a calculus of variations problem, some concepts in measure theory are used to approximate the solution. The procedure of constructing approximate solution in form of an algorithm is shown. Finally a numerical example is given.
