Abstract

We obtain sufficient conditions for the boundedness of solutions of the almost linear Volterra difference equation
 \begin{align*} \Delta x(n)=a(n)h(x(n))+\sum^{n-1}_{k=0}c(n, k)g(x(k)) \end{align*}
 using Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem. Also, we will display a Lyapunov functional that yield boundedness of solution and compare both methods.
