In this paper we shall prove that for any 0 < d ≤ 2, holds for n ≥ 1.As an application, we shall then show that the following recursively defined sequence satisfies The difference equation above originates from a heat conduction problem studied by Myshkis (J. Difference Equ. Appl. 3(1997), 89–91).

Starting from the fact that the real mechanism in a chemical equation takes places through a certain number of radicals which participate in simultaneous reactions and initiate chain reactions according to a particular pattern, the aim of this study is to determine their number in the first couple of steps of the reaction. Based on this, the numbers of radicals were determined in the general case, in the form of linear difference equations, which, by certain mathematical transformations, were reduced to one equation that satisfies a particular numeric series, entirely defined if its first members are known. The equation obtained was solved by a common method developed in the theory of numeric series, in which its solutions represent the number of radicals in an arbitrary step of the reaction observed, in the analytical form. In the final part of the study, the method was tested and verified using two characteristic examples from general chemistry. The study also gives a suggestion of a more efficient procedure by reducing the difference equation to a lower order.

We consider the following difference equationxn+1=xn-1g(xn),n=0,1,…,where initial valuesx-1,x0∈[0,+∞)andg:[0,+∞)→(0,1]is a strictly decreasing continuous surjective function. We show the following. (1) Every positive solution of this equation converges toa,0,a,0,…,or0,a,0,a,…for somea∈[0,+∞). (2) Assumea∈(0,+∞). Then the set of initial conditions(x-1,x0)∈(0,+∞)×(0,+∞)such that the positive solutions of this equation converge toa,0,a,0,…,or0,a,0,a,…is a unique strictly increasing continuous function or an empty set.
