Global Behavior of the Difference Equation xn+1=xn-1g(xn)

We consider the following difference equation xn+1=xn-1g(xn), n=0,1,…, where initial values x-1,x0∈[0,+∞) and g:[0,+∞)→(0,1] is a strictly decreasing continuous surjective function. We show the following. (1) Every positive solution of this equation converges to a,0,a,0, …, or 0,a,0,a,… for some a∈[...
