Keywords:
difference equation, period 2k+4 solution, recursive sequenceAbstract
In this paper, a solution of the following difference equation was investigated
$$x_{n+1} = \frac{x_{n-2k-3}}{1 + \prod\limits_{m=1}^{k+1}x_{n-2m+1}}, n = 0, 1, 2, \ldots$$
where $x_{-2k-3}, x_{-2k-2}, \ldots, x_{-1}, x_{0}$ are arbitrary positive real numbers and $k = 0, 1, 2, \ldots$.
