Local Stability of Period Two Cycles of Second Order Rational Difference Equation

We consider the second order rational difference equation   n = 0,1,2,…, where the parameters are positive real numbers, and the initial conditions are nonnegative real numbers. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the equation to have a prime period-two solution. We show that the peri...
