The Behavior of Positive Solutions of a Nonlinear Second-Order Difference Equation

This paper studies the boundedness, global asymptotic stability, and periodicity of positive solutions of the equation xn=f(xn−2)/g(xn−1), n∈ℕ0, where f,g∈C[(0,∞),(0,∞)]. It is shown that if f and g are nondecreasing, then for every solution of the equation the subsequences {x2n} and {x2n−1} are eve...
