Review text

The authors consider the following nonlinear difference equation: NEWLINE\[NEWLINEx_{k}=\begin{cases} hx_{k-1}^{2},&\text{if } x_{k-1}\leq v\\ hx_{k-1}-j,&\text{if }x_{k-1}>v\end{cases}\tag{\(*\)} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE for \(k=1,2,\dots\); \(h,j,v\) and \(x_0\) are positive integers. They obtain several sufficient conditions in terms of \(h,j\) and \(v\) for which (\(*\)) has periodic solutions. Some of these conditions are not accurate.

Recommendations

• On periodic solutions of nonlinear difference equations in the critical case
• On solutions of the nonlinear difference equation
• The periodic character of the difference equation \(x_{n+1}=f(x_{n - l+1},x_{n - 2k+1})\)
• The periodicity of positive solutions of the nonlinear difference equation \(x_{n+1} = \alpha + (x^p_{n-k})/(x^q_n)\)
• The periodic character of positive solutions of the difference equation \(x _{n+1} = f(x _{n},x_{n - k})\)
