In this difference equation, Stability, Periodicity, boundedness, global Stability. We investigate some qualitative behavior of the solutions of the difference equation

where the initial conditions are arbitrary nonzero real numbers. Recently there has been a great interest in studying the qualitative properties of rational difference equations. For the systematical studies of rational and nonrational difference equations, one can refer to the papers [1-41] and references therein. The study of rational difference equations of order greater than one is quite ch...

* Correspondence: [email protected] Department of Basic Courses, Hebei Finance University, Baoding 071000, China Abstract This article is concerned with the following rational difference equation yn+1 = (yn + yn-1)/(p + ynyn-1) with the initial conditions; y-1, y0 are arbitrary positive real numbers, and p is positive constant. Locally asymptotical stability and global attractivity of the ...

siderably in the social sciences, particularly in economics, political science, and law (e.g., Morrow 1994; Posner 1998; Sunstein 1999). In sociology, especially with the popularity of social capital theory, rational choice has gained traction as an individual-level theory of motivation compatible with macro-level theories of social structure (Coleman 1990). Nevertheless, skepticism in sociolog...

Rational choice theory is pragmatically used by mainstream economics to explain and defend the existence and behavior of prevailing social and economic institutions as being optimal. Every deviation in actual individual and institutional behavior from the optimum is attributed to imperfections in the agents’ ability to pursue the optimal actions rather than the implausibility of the underlying ...

Cheating behavior is an activitythat appear to accompany teaching and learning process activities that can erode positive personality in students because they use dishonest methods achieving academic grades. This study aims test the effectiveness of group counseling with a rational emotive therapy approach reduce students' cheating behavior. type research quantitative experimental research. The...

This paper formulates dynamic R&D investment decisions of private firms as an optimal stochastic control problem. It derives explicitly R&D investment decision rule and the cross equations parameter restrictions imposed by the rational expectations hypothesis, using the Riccati equations only and not requiring the use of Wiener-Kolmogorov prediction formula. Identification and estimation of the...
