Description
Summary:<p>Abstract</p> <p>This article is concerned with the following rational difference equation <it>y</it><sub><it>n</it>+1 </sub>= (<it>y</it><sub><it>n </it></sub>+ <it>y</it><sub><it>n</it>-1</sub>)/(<it>p </it>+ <it>y</it><sub><it>n</it></sub><it>y</it><sub><it>n</it>-1</sub>) with the initial conditions; <it>y</it><sub>-1</sub>, <it>y</it><sub>0 </sub>are arbitrary positive real numbers, and <it>p </it>is positive constant. Locally asymptotical stability and global attractivity of the equilibrium point of the equation are investigated, and non-negative solution with prime period two cannot be found. Moreover, simulation is shown to support the results.</p>
