摘要
In this note we show that every positive solution of the equation x(n+1) = 1/x(n)x(n-1) + 1/x(n-3)x(n-4) , n is an element of N-0,N- converges to a period-three solution. This result confirms Conjecture 5.4.5 in M.R.S. Kulenovic and G. Ladas, 2002, Dynamics of Second Order Rational Difference Equations (Chapman & Hall/CRC).
