Local Stability of Period Two Cycles of Second Order Rational Difference Equation
We consider the second order rational difference equation n = 0,1,2,…, where the parameters are positive real numbers, and the initial conditions are nonnegative real numbers. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the equation to have a prime period-two solution. We show that the period-two solution of the equation is locally asymptotically stable. In particular, we solve Conjecture 5.201.2 proposed by Camouzis and Ladas in their book (2008) which appeared previously in Conjecture 11.4.3 in Kulenović and Ladas monograph (2002)
On the Period-Two Cycles of xn+1=(α+βxn+γxn-k)/(A+Bxn+Cxn-k)
We consider the higher order nonlinear rational difference equation xn+1=(α+βxn+γxn-k)/(A+Bxn+Cxn-k),n=0,1,2,…, where the parameters α,β,γ,A,B,C are positive real numbers and the initial conditions x-k,…,x-1,x0 are nonnegative real numbers, k∈{1,2,…}. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the equation to have a prime period-two solution. We show that the period-two solution of the equation is locally asymptotically stable
