On rational recursive sequences (Q2367655)

The present study is related to the global asymptotic behavior, the oscillatory character and the periodic nature of all solutions of the rational recursive sequences; \(x_{n+1}=[a+\sum^{k-1}_{i=0}b_ ix_{n-i}]/x_{n-k}\), and \(x_{n+1}=(a+bx_ n)/(A+x_{n-k})\), \(n=0,1,2,\dots\), which arises due to an open problem [problem \# 1343, Math., Mag. 63, No. 2, 125 (1990)].
