Abstract: We investigate the boundedness of positive solutions of the reciprocal max-type difference equation [ x_{n}=maxleft{frac{A_{n-1}^{1}}{x_{n-1}}, frac{A_{n-1}^{2}}{x_{n-2}}, ldots, frac{A_{n-1}^{t}}{x_{n-t}} ight}, n=1, 2, ldots, ] where, for each value of i, the sequence Anin=0infty of positive numbers is periodic with period pi. We give both sufficient conditions on the pi's for the boundedness of all solutions and sufficient conditions for all solutions to be unbounded. This work essentially complements the work by Biddell and Franke, who showed that as long as every positive solution of our equation is emph{bounded}, then every positive solution is eventually periodic, thereby leaving open the question as to when solutions are bounded.
