On the difference equation \(x_{n+1} = x_nx_{n-k}/(x_{n-k+1}(a + bx_nx_{n-k}))\) (Q448573): Difference between revisions

Summary: We show that the difference equation \(x_{n+1} = x_nx_{n-k}/x_{n-k+1}(a + bx_nx_{n-k}), n \in \mathbb N_0\), where \(k \in \mathbb N\), the parameters \(a, b\) and initial values \(x_{-i}, i = \overline{0, k}\) are 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.
