Abstract

We examine transformations and diconjugacy for general symplectic systems which include as special cases linear Hamiltonian difference systems and Sturm-Liouville difference equations of higher order. We give a Reid roundabout theorem for these systems and also for reciprocal symplectic systems. Particularly, we investigate a connection between eventual disconjugacy of linear Hamiltonian difference systems and their reciprocals. Finally, we present a dinsconjugacy-preserving transformation of a Sturm-Liouville equation of higher order which transforms this equation into another one of the same order.
