Dynamics of the max-type difference equation x_{n}=\max\{\frac{ 1}{ x_{n-m}} , \frac{A_{n} }{x_{n-r} }\}

In this paper, we study the periodicity, the boundedness and the convergence of the following max-type difference equation $$x_n =\max\biggl\{\frac{ 1}{ x_{n-m}} , \frac{A_n }{x_{n-r} }\biggr \},\quad n =0, 1,2,\ldots,$$ where $\{A_{n}\}^{+\infty}_{n=0}$ is a periodic sequence with period k and A _n ??(0,1) for every n??0, m??{1,2} and r??{2,3,??} with m<r, the initial values x _?r ,??,x _?1??(0,+??). The special case when $m = 1, r = 2, \{A_{n}\}^{+\infty}_{ n=0}$ is a periodic sequence with period k and A _n ??(0,1) for every n??0 has been completely investigated by Y.?Chen. Here we extend his results to the general case.

In this paper, we investigate the global stability and the periodic nature of solutions of the difference equation $y_{n + 1} = \frac{{\alpha + y_n^p }} {{\beta y_{n - 1}^p }} - \frac{{\gamma + y_{n - 1}^p }} {{\beta y_n^p }},n = 0,1,2,... $ where α, β, γ ∈ (0,∞), α(1 ? p) ? γ > 0, 0 < p < 1, every y _n ≠ 0 for n = ?1, 0, 1, 2, … and the initial conditions y?1, y0 are arbitrary positive real numbers. We show that the equilibrium point of the difference equation is a global attractor with a basin that depends on the conditions of the coefficients.
