Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the behavior of solutions of the difference equation \[ x_{n+1}=\frac{\alpha \left( x_{n-2}+x_{n-3}\right) +\left( \alpha -1\right) x_{n-2}x_{n-3}}{x_{n-2}x_{n-3}+\alpha },\;\ \ \ n=0,1,2,\ldots, \] where the initial conditions \(x_{-3},x_{-2},x_{-1},x_{0}\) are arbitrary non-negative real numbers and the parameter \(\alpha \in \lbrack 1,\infty ).\) More precisely, we study the boundedness, stability, and oscillation of the solutions of this equation.
