A period 5 difference equation

The main goal of this note is to introduce another second-order differenceequation where every nontrivial solution is of minimal period 5, namelythe difference equation:xn+1 =1 + xn−1xnxn−1 − 1, n = 1, 2, 3, . . .with initial conditions x0 and x1 any real numbers such that x0x1 6= 1.
