Abstract

We propose, for the sake of dialogue, that the nonautomomous reciprocal max-type difference equation,
$$\begin{aligned} x_{n+1}=\max \left\{ \frac{A_{n}^{(0)}}{x_{n}}, \frac{A_{n}^{(1)}}{x_{n-1}}, \ldots , \frac{A_{n}^{(k)}}{x_{n-k}}\right\} , \ \ n=0, 1, \ldots , \end{aligned}$$
where the parameters are positive periodic sequences and the initial conditions are positive, when \(k=1\) may serve as a phenomenological model of seizure activity as occurs in mesial (or middle) temporal lobe epilepsy.
