In this note, we investigate the periodic character of solutions of the nonlinear, second-order difference equation where the parameter A and the initial conditions x0 and x1 are positive real numbers. We give sufficient conditions under which every positive solution of this equation converges to a period two solution. 相似文献
Our goal in this article is to complete the study of the behavior of solutions of the equation in the title when the parameter p is positive and the initial conditions are arbitrary positive numbers. Our main focus is the case 0 < p < 1. We will show that in this case, all solutions which do not monotonically converge to the equilibrium have a subsequence which converges to p and a subsequence which diverges to infinity. For the sake of completeness, we will also present the results (which were previously known) with alternative proofs for the case p = 1 and the case p > 1. 相似文献
From previous studies of the equation in the title with positive parameters p and q and positive initial conditions we know that if q h 4 p + 1 then the equilibrium is a global attractor. We also know that if q > 4 p + 1 then every solution eventually enters and remains in the interval [ p / q , 1]. In this strip there exists a "unique" prime period two solution that is locally asymptotically stable. In this paper, we provide more insight as to the behavior of solutions of the equation in the title in the strip [ p / q , 1], where a one-dimensional stable manifold lives. 相似文献
We study the global asymptotic stability, global attractivity, boundedness character, and periodic nature of all positive solutions and all negative solutions of the difference equation $$x_{n + 1} = \alpha - \frac{{x_n }}{{x_{n - 1} }}, n = 0,1,...,$$ where α∈R is a real number, and the initial conditionsx?1,x0 are arbitrary real numbers. 相似文献
