\documentstyle[12pt]{article} \title{One-step difference methods for mixed type diferrential-functional equations} \author{Danuta Jaruszewska-Walczak} \date{} \begin{document} \maketitle Suppose that $E=(0,a) \times (-b,b) $ where $a>0,\;b=(b_{1},...,b_{n}) \in R^{n},\;b_{i}>0,\;i=1,...,n$ and $B=[-\tau_{0},0] \times [-\tau,\tau],\; \tau_{0} \in R_{+},\;\tau=(\tau_{1},...,\tau_{n}) \in R^{n}_{+}.$ For $c=b+\tau$ let $E_{0}=[-\tau_{0},0] \times [-c,c]$ and $\partial_{0}E=(0,a) \times ([-c,c] \setminus (-b,b))$. For a function $z:[-\tau_{0},a) \times [-c,c] \rightarrow R$ and for a point $(x,y) \in E$ we define the function $z_{(x,y)}: B \rightarrow R$ by the formula \[z_{(x,y)}(t,s)=z(x+t,y+s),\;(t,s) \in B.\] Suppose that $f:E \times C(B,R) \rightarrow R$ and $\varphi:E_{0} \cup \partial_{0}E \rightarrow R$ are given functions. Consider the initial - boundary value problem \begin{eqnarray} D_{x}z(x,y)&=&f(x,y,z_{(x,y)})\nonumber\\ z(x,y)&=&\varphi(x,y),\;(x,y) \in E_{0} \cup \partial_{0}E,\label{rr} \end{eqnarray} where $D_{x}z$ denotes the derivative of $z$ with respect to $x$. We consider the Euler difference - functional method for the problem (\ref{rr}) and the one - step methods more effective than this one. We give a constructive way to obtain such methods. \end{document}
