## Global attractivity of a higher order nonlinear difference equation.(English)Zbl 1081.39005

The authors investigate the global attractivity of a positive equlibrium of equations of the form $$y_{n+1} = (p+qy_n)/(1+y_n+ry_{n-k})$$, $$n=0,1,\dots$$, where $$p,q,r$$ are positive numbers. They show that the unique positive equilibrium globally attracts all positive values of the parameters. The obtained results improve previous ones in this direction.
