On subharmonic solutions of systems of difference equations with periodic perturbations Part II: Multiplicity and stability

We consider the multiplicity and stability of subharmonic solutions of discrete dynamic systems with periodic perturbations, whose existence was established in the first part of this series. Under the hypotheses that the perturbation is locally Lipschitz continuous, we determine the precise number of subharmonic solutions, and we also show that these subharmonic solutions are stable (unstable) provide the periodic orbit of the unperturbed system is stable (unstable).  2002 Elsevier Science (USA).
