An extension of Sharkovsky's theorem to periodic difference equations

We present an extension of Sharkovsky’s Theorem and its converse to periodic difference equations. In addition, we provide a simple method for constructing a p-periodic difference equation having an r-periodic geometric cycle with or without stability properties.
