Abstract.In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of all non-oscillatory solutions of the second order non-linear difference equation

\begin{displaymath} \Delta [p(n)\phi(\Delta x(n))] + q(n+1 )f(x(n+1)) = 0,\quad n \ge n_0. \end{displaymath}

Also we provide conditions under which $\Delta x(n)$ is oscillatory whenever $x(n)$ is a solution of the above equation. Suitable examples are provided to illustrate the results.
