Abstract

The aim of this article is to investigate the periodic nature of solutions of a rational difference equation xn+1 = α/(1+xn)xn-1 We explore Open Problem 3.3 given in Amleh et al. (Int J Differ Equ 3(1):1–35, 2008, [2]) that requires to determine all periodic solutions of the equation (*).We conclude that for the equation (*) there are no periodic solution with prime period 3 and 4. Period 7 is first period for which exists nonnegative parameter α and nonnegative initial conditions.
