Stević, Stevo
On positive solutions of a ($k+1$)th order difference equation. (English)
[J] Appl. Math. Lett. 19, No. 5, 427-431 (2006). ISSN 0893-9659

The author proves that the following difference equation $$x_{n+1}=\frac{x_{n-k}}{1+x_{n}+\cdots + x_{n-k+1}},\quad n=0, 1, \cdots,$$ where $k\in {\Bbb N}$, has a positive solution which converges to zero. This result solves Open Problem 11.4.10 (a) of {\it M. R. S. Kulenović} and {\it G. Ladas} [Dynamics of second order rational difference equations. With open problems and conjectures. (Boca Raton, FL: Chapman and Hall/CRC) (2002; Zbl 0981.39011)].
