Asymptotic properties of the positive equilibrium of a discrete survival model (Q1888503): Difference between revisions

It is shown that every positive solution of \(x_{n+1}= (1-\mu)x_n+ p\exp(-\nu x_{n-k})\) with \(0<\mu< 1\), positive \(\nu\), \(p\) and \(k\in\mathbb{N}_0\) is persistent. Conditions are given such that every solution \(x_n\) oscillates about the equilibrium \(x^*\), that \(x^*\) is locally asymptotically stable, and that \(x_n\to x^*\) as \(n\to\infty\), respectively.
