On 2- and 3-periodic Lyness difference equations
We describe the sequences {xn}n given by the non-autonomous second order Lyness difference equations xn+2 = (an + xn+1)/xn, where {an}n is either a 2-periodic or a 3-periodic sequence of positive values and the initial conditions x1, x2 are as well positive. We also show an interesting phenomenon of...

| Sumario: | We describe the sequences {xn}n given by the non-autonomous second order Lyness difference equations xn+2 = (an + xn+1)/xn, where {an}n is either a 2-periodic or a 3-periodic sequence of positive values and the initial conditions x1, x2 are as well positive. We also show an interesting phenomenon of the discrete dynamical systems associated to some of these difference equations: the existence of one oscillation of their associated rotation number functions. This behavior does not appear for the autonomous Lyness difference equations. |
