Periodic solutions of a system of nonlinear difference equations with periodic coefficients (Q2228177)

Summary: This paper is dealt with the following system of difference equations \(x_{n+1} = (a_n/x_n) + (b_n/y_n)\), \(y_{n+1} = (c_n/x_n) + (d_n/y_n)\), where \(n\in \mathbb{N}_0 = \mathbb{N} \cup\{0\}\), the initial values \(x_0\) and \(y_0\) are the positive real numbers, and the sequences \((a_n)_{n \geq 0}\), \((b_n)_{n\geq 0}\), \((c_n)_{n \geq 0}\), and \((d_n)_{n \geq 0}\) are two-periodic and positive. The system is an extension of a system where every positive solution is two-periodic or converges to a two-periodic solution. Here, the long-term behavior of positive solutions of the system is examined by using a new method to solve the system.
