Periodic Solutions to a Third-Order Conditional Difference Equation over the Integers

This paper studies a third-order conditional difference equation which is a generalization from the literature. We investigate this equation by transforming it into a first-order system. Finally it is proved that the equation has no period-two (or three) integer solutions. Besides, its all period-fo...
