Solvability of a (k + l)-order nonlinear difference equation

Abstract

It is shown that the following (k + l)-order nonlinear difference equation xn = xn−kxn−k−l xn−l (an + bnxn−kxn−k−l) , n ∈ N0, where k, l ∈ N, (an)n∈N0 , (bn)n∈N0 and the initial values x−i, i = 1, k + l, are real numbers, can be solved and extended some results in literature. Also, by using obtained formulas, we give the forbidden set of the initial values for aforementioned equation and study the asymptotic behavior of well-defined solutions of above difference equation for the case k = 3, l = k.
