On the recursive sequence xn+1=−1/xn+A/xn−1
We investigate the periodic character of solutions of the nonlinear difference equation xn+1=−1/xn+A/xn−1. We give sufficient conditions under which every positive solution of this equation converges to a period two solution. This confirms a conjecture in the work of DeVault et al. (2000).
