We investigate the local stability, prime period-two solutions, boundedness, invariant intervals, and global attractivity of all positive solutions of the following di?erence equation: yn1  r  pyny /qyny ,n∈N0,wheretheparametersp,q,r ∈0,∞,k∈{1,2,3,...}andtheinitial n?k n?k 0 conditions y ,...,y ∈0,∞.Weshowthattheuniquepositive equilibrium ofthisequation isa ?k globalattractorundercertainconditions. 1.IntroductionandPreliminaries Ouraiminthispaperistostudythedynamicalbehaviorofthefollowingrationaldi?erence equation  rpyny n?k yn1 n?k, n∈N0, 1.1 y qyn wherep,q,r ∈ 0,∞,N0 ∈ {0,1,...},k ∈ {1,2,3,...}andtheinitialconditionsy?k,...,y0 ∈ 0,∞.

Let p, q and r be positive numbers. Then every solution of 1.2 converges to the uniqueequilibriumortoaprime-twosolution. The main purpose of this paper is to further consider the global attractivity of all positivesolutionsof1.1.Thatistosay,wewillprovethattheuniquepositiveequilibrium of1.1isaglobalattrac
