Review text

Consider the rational periodic sequences of the form \[ x_{n+1}= {f(x_n) \over x_{n-1}}, \quad n\geq 0,x_{-1}, \quad x_0>0 \] where \(f\) is a positive continuous function. The author establishes necessary and sufficient conditions for a single solution to be periodic. He also develops a necessary condition for every solution to be periodic with the same period. For related results see \textit{G. Ladas} [J. Difference Equ. Appl. 1, No. 1, 95-97 (1995; Zbl 0834.39006)].
