Global asymptotic stability in a class of Putnam-type equations

In this paper, we initiate the study of a class of Putnam-type equation of the form x n + 1 = A 1 x n + A 2 x n - 1 + A 3 x n - 2 x n - 3 + A 4 B 1 x n x n - 1 + B 2 x n - 2 + B 3 x n - 3 + B 4 , n = 0 , 1 , 2 , … , where A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , B 4 are positive constants with A 1...

Zusammenfassung:In this paper, we initiate the study of a class of Putnam-type equation of the form x n + 1 = A 1 x n + A 2 x n - 1 + A 3 x n - 2 x n - 3 + A 4 B 1 x n x n - 1 + B 2 x n - 2 + B 3 x n - 3 + B 4 , n = 0 , 1 , 2 , … , where A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , B 4 are positive constants with A 1 + A 2 + A 3 + A 4 = B 1 + B 2 + B 3 + B 4 , x - 3 , x - 2 , x - 1 , x 0 are positive numbers. A sufficient condition is given for the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point c = 1 of such equations.
