Boundedness, periodicity and stability of the difference equation \(x_{n+1}= A_n +(\frac{x_{n-1}}{x_n})^p\) (Q2379098)

Summary: We study the boundedness, the persistence, the periodicity and the stability of the positive solutions of the non-autonomous difference equation: \[ x_{n+1}= A_n+ \bigg(\frac{x_{n-1}}{x_n}\bigg)^p, \quad n=0,1,\dots, \] where \(A_n\) is a positive bounded sequence, \(p\in(0,1)\cup (1,\infty)\) and \(x_1,x_0\in(0,\infty)\).
