Our aim is to investigate the global behavior of the following fourth-order rational difference equation: , where and the initial values . To verify that the positive equilibrium point of the equation is globally asymptotically stable, we used the rule of the successive lengths of positive and negative semicycles of nontrivial solutions of the aforementioned equation.

We study the global asymptotic stability of the following difference equation:xn+1=f(xn-k1,xn-k2,…,xn-ks;xn-m1,xn-m2,…,xn-mt),n=0,1,…,where0≤k1<k2<⋯<ksand0≤m1<m2<⋯<mtwith{k1,k2,…,ks}⋂‍{m1,m2,…,mt}=∅,the initial values are positive, andf∈C(Es+t,(0,+∞))withE∈{(0,+∞),[0,+∞)}. We give sufficient conditions under which the unique positive equilibriumx-of that equation is globally asymptotically stable.

The main goal of this paper is to investigate the global asymptotic behavior of the difference equationxn+1=β1xn/A1+yn,yn+1=β2xn+γ2yn/xn+yn,n=0,1,2,…withβ1,β2,γ2,A1∈(0,∞)and the initial value(x0,y0)∈[0,∞)×[0,∞)such thatx0+y0≠0. The major conclusion shows that, in the case whereγ2<β2, if the unique positive equilibrium(x-,y-)exists, then it is globally asymptotically stable.

We study the following nonautonomous difference equation:xn+1=(xnxn-1+pn)/(xn+xn-1),n=0,1,…, wherepn>0is a period-2 sequence and the initial valuesx-1,x0∈(0,∞). We show that the unique prime period-2 solution of the equation above is globally asymptotically stable.

AbstractWe investigate the global asymptotic stability for positive solutions to a class of general symmetric rational difference equations and prove that the unique positive equilibrium 1 of the general symmetric rational difference equations is globally asymptotically stable. As a special case of our result, we solve the conjecture raised by Berenhaut, Foley and Stević [‘The global attractivity of the rational difference equationyn=(yn−k+yn−m)/(1+yn−kyn−m)’,Appl. Math. Lett.20(2007), 54–58].

This paper aims to investigate the global stability of negative solutions of the difference equationxn+1=(α+βxn-k)/(γ+xn),n=0,1,2,…, where the initial conditionsx-k,…,x0∈-∞,0,kis a positive integer, and the parametersβ,  γ<0,  α>0. By utilizing the invariant interval and periodic character of solutions, it is found that the unique negative equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable under some parameter conditions. Additionally, two examples are given to illustrate the main results in the end.

Let k be a nonnegative integer and c a real number greater than or equal to 1. We present qualitative global behavior of solutions to a rational nonlinear higher-order difference equation zn+1=(czn+zn-k+c-1znzn-k)/(znzn-k+c),  n≥0, with positive initial values z-k,z-k+1,⋯,z0, and show the global asymptotic stability of its positive equilibrium solution.

In this paper, we propose and study an SIS epidemic model with clustering characteristics based on networks. Using the method of the existence of positive equilibrium point, we obtain the formula of the basic reproduction number R0. Furthermore, by constructing Lyapunov function, we also prove that the disease-free equilibrium of the model is globally asymptotically stable when R0<1. When R0>1, there is only one positive equilibrium point which is globally asymptotically stable. It is also shown that the infection proportion and the basic reproduction number R0 increases as the clustering coefficient increases when the average degree of networks is fixed.
