On the dynamics of a higher order rational difference equations

The main objective of this paper is to study the global stability of the positive solutions and the periodic character of the difference equation

$y_{n+1}=a{y}_n+b{y}_{n?t}+c{y}_{n?l}+\frac{d{y}_{n?k}+e{y}_{n?s}}{\alpha y_{n?k}+\beta y_{n?s}},n=0,1,\dots ,$

with positive parameters and non-negative initial conditions. Numerical examples to the difference equation are given to explain our results.
