The forbidden set of this equation is found and then, the order reduction method is used to facilitate the analysis of its asymptotic dynamics", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-04-22T07:34:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "higher order rational difference equation", "convergence", "order reduction method", "arbitrary real numbers", "periodic points" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1104.4402G" } } }
