Global attractivity of the equilibrium of a nonlinear difference equation

John R. Graef, C. Qian (2002)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The authors consider the nonlinear difference equation x n + 1 = α x n + x n - k f ( x n - k ) , n = 0 , 1 , . 1 where α ( 0 , 1 ) , k { 0 , 1 , } and f C 1 [ [ 0 , ) , [ 0 , ) ] ( 0 ) with f ' ( x ) < 0 . They give sufficient conditions for the unique positive equilibrium of (0.1) to be a global attractor of all positive solutions. The results here are somewhat easier to apply than those of other authors. An application to a model of blood cell production is given.
