      The authors study the length of the semi-cycle of the solutions and the global attractivity of the equilibrium of a nonlinear difference equation of the form \[ x_{n+1}=f(x_{n-s}, x_{n-t}), \quad n=0, 1, \dots. \] They prove that the length of the semi-cycle of the solutions is less than or equal to \(t\) and give sufficient conditions under which every positive solution of this equation converges to the positive equilibrium. Some known results are included and improved.
