Global Behavior of a Higher Order Difference Equation

Alaa E. Hamza and R. Khalaf-Allah

Abstract

In this work we study the asymptotic stability of the nonnegative equilibrium points of the difference equation. We discuss the conditions under which there exist prime period two solutions and semicycles. Finally we investigate the oscillation and the existence of unbounded solutions.
