Global Stability of a Second-Order Exponential-Type Difference Equation

Abstract

In this work, we explore the boundedness and local and global asymptotic behavior of the solutions to a second-order difference formula of the exponential type ξn+1=a+bξn−1+cξn−1e−ρξn, where a,c,ρ∈(0,∞), b∈(0,1) and the initials ξ0,ξ−1 are non-negative real numbers. Some other special cases are given. We provide two concrete numerical examples to confirm the theoretical results.
