      Summary: We investigate the behavior of the solutions of the recursive sequence \(x_{n+1} = \alpha + x_{n-1}/x^k_n, n = 0, 1, \dots\), where \(\alpha \in [0, \infty), k \in (0, \infty)\), and the initial conditions \(x_{-1}, x_0\) are arbitrary positive numbers. Included are results that considerably improve those in the recently published paper by \textit{A. E. Hamza} and \textit{A. Morsy} [Appl. Math. Lett. 22, No. 1, 91--95 (2009; Zbl 1163.39302)].
