Dynamics of a rational difference equation. (English) Zbl 1100.39002
Author’s summary: We investigate the solution of the difference equation $$x_{n+1}= \frac {x_{n-1}}{a-x_{n-1}x_{n}}$$, where $$n=0,1,2,\ldots,$$ where $$x_{-1}, x_{0} \in {\mathbb R}$$ and $$a > 0$$. Moreover, we discuss the stability properties and semi-cycle behavior of this solution.
