A rational recursive sequence (Q5948708)

The authors investigate the global attractivity of all positive solutions of equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINEx_{n+1}= (a+bx_n^2)/(1+x_{n-1}^2),\quad \text{for } n=0,1,2, \dots, \tag{*}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(a,b\in [0,\infty)\). They obtain that the unique positive equilibrium of equation (*) is the global attractor of all positive solutions of equation (*) under certain conditions.
