Abstract

In this paper we study some qualitative properties of the solutions for the following difference equation \[ y_{n+1}=\frac{\alpha +\alpha _{0} y_{n}^{r}+\alpha _{1} y_{n-1}^{r}+\cdots+\alpha _{k} y_{n-k}^{r}}{\beta +\beta _{0} y_{n}^{r}+\beta _{1} y_{n-1}^{r}+\cdots+\beta _{k} y_{n-k}^{r}}% ,~~~~n\geq 0,\tag{I} \] where \(r, \alpha , \alpha _{0}, \alpha _{1},\ldots, \alpha _{k}, \beta , \beta _{0}, \beta _{1},\ldots, \beta _{k}\in (0,\infty )\) and \(k \) is a non-negative integer number. We find the equilibrium points for the considered equation. Then classify these points in terms of local stability or not. We investigate the boundedness and the global stability of the solutions for the considered equation. Also we study the existence of periodic solutions of Eq. (I).
