On the max-type equation $$x_{n+1}=\max \{\frac{A}{x_n},x_{n-2}\}$$. (English) Zbl 1169.39003
Authors’ summary: We show that every well-defined solution of the difference equation
$x_{n+1}= \max\left\{\frac{A}{x_n},x_{n-2}\right\},\;n\in\mathbb{N}_0,$ where $$A\in\mathbb{R}$$, is eventually periodic with period three.
