Necessary and sufficient condition for the global stability of a delayed discrete-time single neuron model

We consider the global asymptotic stability of the trivial fixed point of the difference equation $x_{n+1}=m x_n-\alpha \varphi(x_{n-1})$, where $(\alpha,m) \in \mathbb{R}^2$ and $\varphi$ is a real function satisfying the discrete Yorke condition: $\min\{0,x\} \leq \varphi(x) \leq \max\{0,x\}$ for all $x\in \mathbb{R}$. If $\varphi$ is bounded then $(\alpha,m) \in [|m|-1,1] \times [-1,1]$, $(\alpha,m) \neq (0,-1), (0,1)$ is necessary for the global stability of $0$. We prove that if $\varphi(x) \equiv \tanh(x)$, then this condition is sufficient as well.
