This paper is devoted to some properties of solutions to the nonlinear difference equation \[ \Delta\bigl( r(n)\Delta y(n) \bigr)+ f\bigl(n, y(n+1), \Delta y(n+1) \bigr)=0, \tag{1} \] where \(r:N_0 \to\mathbb{R}_+\), and \(f:N_0 \times \mathbb{R}^2 \to\mathbb{R}\) is continuous for each fixed \(n\). Here \(N_0: =\{n_0,n_0 +1, \dots\},n_0\) is a given nonnegative integer. For a function \(y:N_0 \to\mathbb{R}\) the difference operator \(\Delta\) is defined by \[ \Delta y(n)= y(n+1)-y(n), \quad \Delta^2y(n) =\Delta\bigl( \Delta y(n)\bigr). \tag{2} \] The authors provide sufficient conditions under which (1) has a bounded solution.
