  • Abstract
    In this paper, we study the following nonautonomous rational difference equation yn+1=αn+ynαn+yn−k,n=0,1,..., where {αn}n≥0 is a bounded sequence of positive numbers, k is a positive integer and the initial values y−k,...,y0 are positive real numbers. We give sufficient conditions under which the unique equilibrium y¯=1 is globally asymptotically stable. Furthermore, we establish an oscillation result for positive solutions about the equilibrium point. Our work generalizes and improves earlier results in the literature.
