On the solutions of fourth order difference equations (Q1915735)

The authors study the behavior of nonoscillatory solutions of the fourth order difference equation \(\Delta^4 y_n= f(n, y_{n+2})\), \(n\in \mathbb{N}\), where \(f: \mathbb{N}\times \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}\) satisfies \(x\cdot f(n, x)< 0\) for all \(n\in \mathbb{N}\), \(x\neq 0\).
