Dynamics of Third-Order Rational Difference Equations with Open Problems and ConjecturesAuthor(s): Elias Camouzis, G. Ladas\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Chapman & Hall/CRC\nISBN-13: 9780367388294, 978-0367388294\nSynopsis\nExtending and generalizing the results of rational equations,\n\nDynamics of Third Order Rational Difference Equations with Open Problems and Conjectures focuses on the boundedness nature of solutions, the global stability of equilibrium points, the periodic character of solutions, and the convergence to periodic solutions, including their periodic trichotomies. The book also provides numerous thought-provoking open problems and conjectures on the boundedness character, global stability, and periodic behavior of solutions of rational difference equations. \n\nAfter introducing several basic definitions and general results, the authors examine 135 special cases of rational difference equations that have only b.
