Asymptotic stability for a class of nonlinear difference equations (Q980812)

Summary: We study the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for the fractional difference equation \(x_{n+1}=(ax_{n-l}x_{n-k})/(\alpha+bx_{n-s}+cx_{n-t})\), \(n=0,1,\dots\), where the initial conditions \(x_{-r},x_{-r+1},\dots,x_1,x_0\) are arbitrary positive real numbers of the interval \((0,\alpha/2a),l,k,s,t\) are nonnegative integers, \(r=\max\{l,k,s,t\}\) and \(\alpha,a,b,c\) are positive constants. Moreover, some numerical simulations are given to illustrate our results.
