On the difference equation \(x_{n+1}=\frac{a+bx_{n-k}^{cx_n-m}}{1+g(x_{n-1})}\) (Q2471330)

The second author investigated global attractivity, boundedness and periodic solutions of the rational difference equation \(x_{n+1}=(\alpha+ \beta x_{n-1})/(1+g(x_{n}))\). In this paper the authors generally consider the equation \(x_{n+1}=(a+ b x_{n-k}-cx_{n-m})/(1+g(x_{n-l}))\), where \(a,b,c\) are nonnegative real numbers, \(k,l,m\) are nonnegative integers and \(g\) is a nonnegative real function. They discuss its oscillation and periodic solutions and study the boundedness and stability of its positive solutions. They also generalize their results to \[ x_{n+1}=\frac{a+\sum_{j=0}^k b_j x_{n-j} -\sum_{i=0}^m c_i x_{n-i}}{f(x_n,\dots,x_{n-l})}. \]
