Basin of Attraction through Invariant Curves and Dominant Functions by Al-Sharawi, Ziyad

“…We study a second-order difference equation of the form ₙ₊₁= ₙ(ₙ₋₁) + ℎ, where both () and () are decreasing. We consider a set of invariant curves at ℎ = 1 and use it to characterize the behaviour of solutions when ℎ > 1 and when 0 < ℎ < 1.The case ℎ > 1 is related to the Y2K problem. …”
