GLOBAL ATTRACTIVITY IN A CLASS OF HIGHER-ORDER NONLINEAR DIFFERENCE EQUATION

In this paper the global attractivity of the nonlinear difference equationis investigated, where a,b, A ∈ (0,∞), k is an positive integer and the initial conditions x- k, …, x-1 and x0 are arbitrary positive numbers. It is shown that the unique positive equilibrium of the equation is global attractive. As a corollary, the result gives a positive confirmation on the conjecture presented by Kocic and Ladas [1,p154].
