Geometric stability conditions for higher order difference equations (Q1270907)

The author considers the higher order autonomous difference equation \[ x_n= f(x_{n-1}, \dots, x_{n-m}),\;n=1,2,3, \dots \tag{1} \] where the order \(m\) is a fixed positive integer larger than 1. Under some suitable conditions on \(f\) the author discusses the asymptotic stability, the exponential stability relative to the invariant sets, and the instability with the aid of a general class of sets for equation (1). Examples are given to illustrate the results.
