Global asymptotic stability and oscillation of a family of difference equations. (English) Zbl 1055.39017
The authors are concerned with the oscillatory behavior of the positive solutions of the family of difference equations $x_{n+1}= \Biggl(\sum^k_{\substack{ i=0\\ i\neq j,j-1}} x_{n-i}+ x_{n-j+1} x_{n-j}+ 1\Biggr)\Biggl/\sum^k_{i=0} x_{n-j},\quad j= 1,\dots,k,$ where $$n\in \{0,1,\dots\}$$, $$k\in \{1,2,\dots\}$$ and the initial values $$x_{-k}, x_{-k+1},\dots, x_0$$ are positive numbers. It is also proved that the unique equilibrium $$\overline x= 1$$ is globally asymptotically stable.
