The study of a class of rational difference equations

摘要

In this paper, we study the global behavior of the higher order nonlinear difference equationxn+1=βxn-k+1+γxn-2k+1Bxn-k+1+Cxn-2k+1,n=0,1,…,where B, C and β, γ are positive, k ∈ {1, 2, 3, …}, and the initial conditions x−2k+1, … , x−1, x0 are positive real numbers. We investigate the character of semicycles, periodicity, global stability and convergence to 2k-cycle solutions of mentioned equation.
