Abstract:
      In this paper, we will investigate some qualitative behavior of solutions of the following fourth order difference equation $x_{n+1}=ax_{n-1}+\frac{bx_{n-1}}{cx_{n-1}-dx_{n-3}},$ \ $n=0,1,...,$ where the initial conditions $x_{-3,}x_{-2},\ x_{-1}$\ and\ $x_{0}\ $are arbitrary real numbers and the values $a,\ b,\ c\ $and$\;d$ are\ defined as positive real numbers.
