The following difference equationxn=xn−lxn−k−1,n∈ℕ0, wherek,l∈ℕ,k<l,gcd(k,l)=1, and the initial valuesx-l,…,x-2,x-1are real numbers, has been investigated so far only for some particular values ofkandl. To get any general result on the equation is turned out as a not so easy problem. In this paper, we give the first result on the behaviour of solutions of the difference equation of general character, by describing the long-term behavior of the solutions of the equation for all values of parameterskandl, where the initial values satisfy the following conditionmin{x-l,…,x-2,x-1}.

Our goal in this paper is to investigate the long-term behavior of solutions of the following difference equation: , where the initial conditions and are real numbers. We examine the boundedness of solutions, periodicity of solutions, and existence of unbounded solutions and how these behaviors depend on initial conditions.

Closed form formulas for well-defined solutions of the next difference equation xn = xn-2xn-k-2/xn-k(an + bnxn-2xn-k-2), n ? N0, where k ? N, (an)n?N0, (bn)n?N0, and initial values x-i, i = 1,k+2 are real numbers, are given. Long-term behavior of well-defined solutions of the equation when (an)n?N0 and (bn)n?N0 are constant sequences is described in detail by using the formulas. We also describe the domain of undefinable solutions of the equation. Our results explain and considerably improve some recent results in the literature.

We show that the difference equationxn+1=xnxn-k/xn-k+1(a+bxnxn-k),n∈ℕ0, wherek∈ℕ, the parametersa,band initial valuesx-i,i=0,k̅are real numbers, can be solved in closed form considerably extending the results in the literature. By using obtained formulae, we investigate asymptotic behavior of well-defined solutions of the equation.

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.
