Abstract
In this paper, we investigate asymptotic stability, oscillation, asymptotic behavior and existence of the period-2 solutions for difference equation <TEX>$x_{n+1}\;=\;{\alpha}\;+\;\beta{x_{n-1}}^{p}/{x_n}^p$</TEX> where <TEX>${\alpha}\;{\geq}\;0,\;{\beta}\;>\;0.\;<TEX>$\mid$</TEX>p<TEX>$\mid$</TEX>\;{\geq}\;1$</TEX>, and the initial conditions <TEX>$x_{-1}\;and\;x_0$</TEX> are arbitrary positive real numbers.
