For the difference equation \[ x_{n+1}= \frac{x_{n-1} x_{n-2} x_{n-3}+ x_{n-1}+ x_{n-2}+ x_{n-3}+ a}{x_{n-1} x_{n-2}+ x_{n-1} x_{n-3}+ x_{n-2} x_{n-3}+ 1+ a} \] with \(a\geq 0\) the semicycle structure of positive, strictly oscillating solutions is investigated, and the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium 1.
