The main objective of this paper is to study the boundedness character, the periodic character and the global stability of the positive solutions of the following difference equation $x_{n + 1} = \frac{{\alpha x_n + \beta x_{n - 1} + \gamma x_{n - 2} + \delta x_{n - 3} }}{{Ax_n + Bx_{n - 1} + Cx_{n - 2} + Dx_{n - 3} }},n = 0,1,2.....$ where the coefficientsA, B, C, D, α, β, γ, δ, and the initial conditionsx _-3,x _-2,x _-1,x ₀ are arbitrary positive real numbers.

The boundedness, global attractivity, oscillatory and asymptotic periodicity of the positive solutions of the difference equation of the form $$x_{n + 1} = \alpha + \frac{{x_{n - 1}^p }}{{x_n^p }}, n = 0,1,...$$ is investigated, where all the coefficients are nonnegative real numbers.     

On 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 }}

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.     

On the difference equationx_{n + 1} = \alpha + \frac{{x_n^p }}{{x_{n - 1}^p }}

We study, firstly, the dynamics of the difference equation $x_{n + 1} = \alpha + \frac{{x_n^p }}{{x_{n - 1}^p }}$ , withp ∈ (0,1) and α∈ [0, ∞). Then, we generalize our results to the (k + 1)th order difference equation $x_{n + 1} = \alpha + \frac{{x_n^p }}{{x_{n - k}^p }}$ ,k = 2, 3,... with positive initial conditions.

On the rational recursive sequence x_{n+1}=\frac{\alpha+\beta x_{n-k}}{\gamma-x_{n}}

In this paper, we investigate the global asymptotic stability, the periodicity nature and the boundedness character of the positive solutions of the difference equation x _n+1=(α+β x _n?k )/(γ?x _n ) where n=0,1,2,… and k∈{1,2,…}. The parameters α≥0, γ,β>0 and the initial conditions x _?k , x _?k+1,…,x _?1,x ₀ are real positive numbers. We show that the positive equilibrium point of this equation is a global attractor with a basin that depends on certain conditions posed on the coefficients α,β,γ.     

On the difference equationx_{n + 1} = \frac{{a + bx_{n - k} - cx_{n - m} }}{{1 + g(x_{n - 1} )}}

In this paper we consider the difference equation $$x_{n + 1} = \frac{{a + bx_{n - k} - cx_{n - m} }}{{1 + g(x_{n - 1} )}},$$ wherea, b, c are nonegative real numbers,k, l, m are nonnegative integers andg(x) is a nonegative real function. The oscillatory and periodic character, the boundedness and the stability of positive solutions of the equation is investigated. The existence and nonexistence of two-period positive solutions are investigated in details. In the last section of the paper we consider a generalization of the equation.

On the Dynamics of x_{\bf{n} + \bf{1}} = {{ \mgreek{a} + \mgreek{g} x_{n-1} + \mgreek{d} x_{n-2}} \over {A + x_{n-2}}}

We investigate the global stability, the periodic character and the boundedness nature of solutions of the equation in the title for all admissible nonnegative values of the parameters and the initial conditions. We show that the solutions exhibit a trichotomy character depending on how the parameter γ compares to the sum of the parameters δ and A.     

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.
