Abstract
We consider the difference equation ,
, in the context of a Hilbert space. In this setting, we propose a concept of oscillation with respect to a direction and give sufficient conditions so that all its solutions be directionally oscillatory, as well as conditions which guarantee the existence of directionally positive monotone increasing solutions.
