Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the global asymptotic stability of all solutions of the difference
equation
xnþ1 ¼ Axn2
B þ Cxnxn1xn2
; n ¼ 0; 1; ...
where A;B; C are positive real numbers and the initial conditions x2; x1; x0 are real
numbers. Although we have an explicit formula for the solutions of that equation, the oscillation
character is worth to be discussed.
