Deskripsi

In this paper we investigate the global convergence result, boundedness, and periodicity of solutions of the recursive sequence \[x_{n+1} = ax_n + \frac{bx_{n-1}+cx_{n+2}}{dx_{n-1}+ex_{n+2}}, \quad n=0,1,\ldots,\] where the parameters \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), \(d\) and \(e\) are positive real numbers and the initial conditions \(x_{-2}\), \(x_{-1}\), and \(x_0\) are positive real numbers.
