Abstract

Our aim in this paper is to investigate the global attractivity of the recursive sequence $x_{n+1}$ = $\frac{\alpha-{\beta}x_{n-1}}{\gamma+g(x_n)}$ under specified conditions. We show that the positive (or zero for $\alpha$ = 0) equilibrium point of the equation is a global attractor with a basin that depends on certain conditions posed on the coefficients and the function g(x).
