We study the following difference equationxn+1=(p+xn-1)/(qxn+xn-1),n=0,1,…,wherep,q∈(0,+∞)and the initial conditionsx-1,x0∈(0,+∞). We show that every positive solution of the above equation either converges to a finite limit or to a two cycle, which confirms that the Conjecture 6.10.4 proposed by Kulenović and Ladas (2002) is true.

We consider the following difference equationxn+1=xn-1g(xn),n=0,1,…,where initial valuesx-1,x0∈[0,+∞)andg:[0,+∞)→(0,1]is a strictly decreasing continuous surjective function. We show the following. (1) Every positive solution of this equation converges toa,0,a,0,…,or0,a,0,a,…for somea∈[0,+∞). (2) Assumea∈(0,+∞). Then the set of initial conditions(x-1,x0)∈(0,+∞)×(0,+∞)such that the positive solutions of this equation converge toa,0,a,0,…,or0,a,0,a,…is a unique strictly increasing continuous function or an empty set.

AbstractIn this paper, we determine the forbidden set, introduce an explicit formula for the solutions and discuss the global behavior of solutions of the difference equationx_{n+1}=\frac{ax_{n}x_{n-k}}{bx_{n}-cx_{n-k-1}},\quad n=0,1,\ldots,where{a,b,c}are positive real numbers and the initial conditions{x_{-k-1},x_{-k},\ldots,x_{-1},x_{0}}are real numbers. We show that when{a=b=c}, the behavior of the solutions depends on whetherkis even or odd.

We give in this work the sufficient conditions on the positive solutions of the difference equationxn+1=α+(xn-1m/xnk),  n=0,1,…, whereα,k, andm∈(0,∞)under positive initial conditionsx-1,  x0to be bounded,α-convergent, the equilibrium point to be globally asymptotically stable and that every positive solution converges to a prime two-periodic solution. Our results coincide with that known for the casesm=k=1of Amleh et al. (1999) andm=1of Hamza and Morsy (2009). We offer improving conditions in the case ofm=1of Gümüs and Öcalan (2012) and explain our results by some numerical examples with figures.

This paper aims to investigate the global stability of negative solutions of the difference equationxn+1=(α+βxn-k)/(γ+xn),n=0,1,2,…, where the initial conditionsx-k,…,x0∈-∞,0,kis a positive integer, and the parametersβ,  γ<0,  α>0. By utilizing the invariant interval and periodic character of solutions, it is found that the unique negative equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable under some parameter conditions. Additionally, two examples are given to illustrate the main results in the end.

Consider the difference equationxn+1=f(xn,…,xn−k),n=0,1,…,wherek∈{1,2,…}and the initial conditions are real numbers. We investigate the existence and nonexistence of the minimal period-two solution of this equation when it can be rewritten as the nonautonomous linear equationxn+l=∑i=1−lkgixn−i,n=0,1,…,wherel,k∈{1,2,…}and the functionsgi:ℝk+l→ℝ. We give some necessary and sufficient conditions for the equation to have a minimal period-two solution whenl=1.

In this paper, we address the difference equation xn=pxn-s+xn-t/q+xn-t n=0,1,... with positive initial conditions where s, t are distinct nonnegative integers, p, q > 0. Our results not only include some previously known results, but apply to some difference equations that have not been investigated so far.
