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.

AbstractIn this paper we give some theoretical explanations related to the representation for the general solution of the system of the higher-order rational difference equations$$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle x_{n+1} = \dfrac{1+2y_{n-k}}{3+y_{n-k}},\qquad y_{n+1} = \dfrac{1+2z_{n-k}}{3+z_{n-k}},\qquad z_{n+1} = \dfrac{1+2x_{n-k}}{3+x_{n-k}}, \end{array}$$where n, k∈ ℕ0, the initial values x−k, x−k+1, …, x0, y−k, y−k+1, …, y0, z−k, z−k+1, …, z1 and z0 are arbitrary real numbers do not equal −3. This system can be solved in a closed-form and we will see that the solutions are expressed using the famous Fibonacci and Lucas numbers.

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}.

Letf(z1,…,zk)∈C(Ik,I)be a given function, whereIis (bounded or unbounded) subinterval ofℝ, andk∈ℕ. Assume thatf(y1,y2,…,yk)≥f(y2,…,yk,y1)ify1≥max{y2,…,yk},f(y1,y2,…,yk)≤f(y2,…,yk,y1)ify1≤min{y2,…,yk}, andfis non- decreasing in the last variablezk. We then prove that every bounded solution of an autonomous difference equation of orderk, namely,xn=f(xn−1,…,xn−k),n=0,1,2,…,with initial valuesx−k,…,x−1∈I, is convergent, and every unbounded solution tends either to+∞or to−∞.

This paper is dealt with the following system of difference equations x n + 1 = a n / x n + b n / y n , y n + 1 = c n / x n + d n / y n , where n ∈ ℕ 0 = ℕ ∪ 0 , the initial values x 0   and   y 0 are the positive real numbers, and the sequences a n n ≥ 0 , b n n ≥ 0 , c n n ≥ 0 , and d n n ≥ 0 are two-periodic and positive. The system is an extension of a system where every positive solution is two-periodic or converges to a two-periodic solution. Here, the long-term behavior of positive solutions of the system is examined by using a new method to solve the system.

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.

We mainly investigate the general solutions and periodic solutions to the following system of max-type difference equations xn+1 = max{y2n-1, An/yn-1}, yn+1 = min{x2n-1,Bn/xn-1}, where n ? N, (An)n?N and (Bn)n?N are positive real sequences, and the initial values x-1 = ?, x0= ?; y-1= ?, y0 = ? are real numbers.

In this paper, we present some basic definitions and preliminary results –l alpha difference operator and inverse. We derive the sum of infinite –l alpha series and infinite –l alpha multi-series formulae by equating summation and closed form of the generalized higher order –l alpha difference equation.
