    The author proves that the positive solutions of the second-order difference equation \[ x_n = \max \left\{ \frac A{x_{n-1}^\alpha}, \frac B{x_{n-2}^\beta} \right\} \] converge to the equilibrium state \(\max \{ A^{\frac 1{\alpha+1}}, B^{\frac 1{\beta+1}}\}\). There is also a comment concerning the higher order case.
