Abstract.The article studies the behavior of cycles formed by the orbits of a two-parametric linear difference equation of the second order, a generalization of the Fibonacci recursion. Permutations with rises are suggested as universal characteristics of the cycles across the whole spectrum of integer periods. The method used by the authors is a combination of Maple-based computational experiments and formal demonstration.
