Periodic Character and Patterns of Recursive Sequences

Abstract

This chapter’s aims are to determine the necessary and sufficient criteria for the existence of periodic solutions, patterns of periodic solutions, and the existence of eventually periodic solutions of the first order nonlinear difference equations. We emerge with three examples of first order nonlinear difference equations that exhibit periodic solutions and eventually periodic solutions:
