We give in this work the sufficient conditions on the positive solutions of the difference equationxn+1=α+(xn-1m/xnk),  n=0,1,…, whereα,k, andm∈(0,∞)under positive initial conditionsx-1,  x0to be bounded,α-convergent, the equilibrium point to be globally asymptotically stable and that every positive solution converges to a prime two-periodic solution. Our results coincide with that known for the casesm=k=1of Amleh et al. (1999) andm=1of Hamza and Morsy (2009). We offer improving conditions in the case ofm=1of Gümüs and Öcalan (2012) and explain our results by some numerical examples with figures.

We give here the sufficient conditions on the positive solutions of the difference equation xn+1 = α+M((xn−1)/xn), n = 0, 1, …, where M is an Orlicz function, α∈ (0, ∞) with arbitrary positive initials x−1, x0 to be bounded, α-convergent and the equilibrium point to be globally asymptotically stable. Finally we present the condition for which every positive solution converges to a prime two periodic solution. Our results coincide with that known for the cases M(x) = x in Ref. [3] and M(x) = xk, where k ∈ (0, ∞) in Ref. [7]. We have given the solution of open problem proposed in Ref. [7] about the existence of the positive solution which eventually alternates above and below equilibrium and converges to the equilibrium point. Some numerical examples with figures will be given to show our results.

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.

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.

Consider the difference equationxn+1=f(xn,…,xn−k),n=0,1,…,wherek∈{1,2,…}and the initial conditions are real numbers. We investigate the existence and nonexistence of the minimal period-two solution of this equation when it can be rewritten as the nonautonomous linear equationxn+l=∑i=1−lkgixn−i,n=0,1,…,wherel,k∈{1,2,…}and the functionsgi:ℝk+l→ℝ. We give some necessary and sufficient conditions for the equation to have a minimal period-two solution whenl=1.

We study the following difference equationxn+1=(p+xn-1)/(qxn+xn-1),n=0,1,…,wherep,q∈(0,+∞)and the initial conditionsx-1,x0∈(0,+∞). We show that every positive solution of the above equation either converges to a finite limit or to a two cycle, which confirms that the Conjecture 6.10.4 proposed by Kulenović and Ladas (2002) is true.

AbstractIn this paper, a two-species nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra model of population growth in a polluted environment is proposed. Global asymptotic behaviour of this model by constructing suitable bounded functions has been investigated. It is proved that each population for competition, predation and cooperation systems respectively is uniformly persistent (permanent) under appropriate conditions. Sufficient conditions are derived to confirm that if each of competition, predation and cooperation systems respectively admits a positive periodic solution, then it is globally asymptotically stable.

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.

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the global stability and the periodic nature of solutions of the difference equation $y_{n + 1} = \frac{{\alpha + y_n^p }} {{\beta y_{n - 1}^p }} - \frac{{\gamma + y_{n - 1}^p }} {{\beta y_n^p }},n = 0,1,2,... $ where α, β, γ ∈ (0,∞), α(1 − p) − γ > 0, 0 < p < 1, every y n ≠ 0 for n = −1, 0, 1, 2, … and the initial conditions y−1, y0 are arbitrary positive real numbers. We show that the equilibrium point of the difference equation is a global attractor with a basin that depends on the conditions of the coefficients.
