Boundedness and asymptotic behavior results for nonlinear difference equations with positive and negative coefficients (Q623193)

This paper is concerned with nonlinear delay difference equations with positive and negative coefficients \[ x(n+1)-x(n)+p(n)f(x(n-k))-q(n)f(x(n-l))=0, \qquad n\geq n_0. \] Using Lyapunov's direct method, the authors derive sufficient conditions under which every solution is bounded and tends to a constant as \(n\to\infty\). The obtained results improve and extend some existing ones.
