Abstract

It is shown that the behavior of the solutions of the nonlinear recursion y(+1)=[1y()]py(\ell + 1) = [1-y(\ell)]^p -- where the dependent variable y(l)y(l) is a real number, =0;1;2...\ell= 0; 1; 2... is the independent variable, and pp is an arbitrary positive integer -- is easily ascertainable.
