On certain sixth order difference equations

Dynamical Systems 2019-02-19 v1

Abstract

We use the Lie group analysis method to investigate the invariance properties and the solutions of \begin{align*} x_{n+1} =\frac{x_{n-5}x_{n-3}}{x_{n-1}(a_n +b_nx_{n-5}x_{n-3})}. \end{align*} We show that this equation has a two-dimensional Lie algebra and that its solutions can be presented in a unified manner. Besides presenting solutions of the recursive sequence above where (an)(a_n) and (bn)(b_n) are sequences of real numbers, some specific cases are emphasized.
