Abstract

We investigate the periodic nature of the positive solutions of the fuzzy difference equation x"n=maxA"0x"n"-"k,A"1x"n"-"m, where k, m are positive integers, A"0, A"1, are positive fuzzy numbers and the initial values x"i, i=-d,-d+1,...,-1, d=max{k,m}, are positive fuzzy numbers. In addition, we give conditions so that the solutions of this equation are unbounded.
