On the global behavior of the nonlinear difference equation \(x_{n+1}=f(p_{n},x_{n - m},x_{n - t(k+1)+1})\) (Q871395)

Let \(k\) and \(t\) be natural numbers, \(m\) be a nonnegative integer such that \(0\leq m<t(k+1)-1\), and \(p_n\) be a positive sequence of period \(k+1\). The authors establish sufficient conditions under which every positive solution of the nonlinear difference equation \[ x_{n+1}=f\left(p_n,x_{n-m},x_{n-t(k+1)}\right),\quad n=0,1,2,\dots \] converges to a period \(k+1\) solution.
