A note on a generalization of Pielou’s equation. (English) Zbl 1151.39008
This work deals with the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the generalized Pielou equation $x_{n+1}=x_nf(x_{n-1})+c,$ where $$c\geq 0$$ and $$f: [0, \infty)\to (0, \infty)$$. The author shows that if $$f$$ is continuous with some monotonicity properties similar to those of $$\frac{\beta}{1+x}$$, then every solution converges to an equilibrium of the generalized Pielou equation.
