Stability analysis of a system of exponential difference equations (Q2321385)

Summary: We study the boundedness character and persistence, existence and uniqueness of positive equilibrium, local and global behavior, and rate of convergence of positive solutions of the following system of exponential difference equations: \(x_{n + 1} = (\alpha_1 + \beta_1 e^{- x_n} + \gamma_1 e^{- x_{n - 1}}) /(a_1 + b_1 y_n + c_1 y_{n - 1})\), \(y_{n + 1} = (\alpha_2 + \beta_2 e^{- y_n} + \gamma_2 e^{- y_{n - 1}}) /(a_2 + b_2 x_n + c_2 x_{n - 1})\), where the parameters \(\alpha_i\), \(\beta_i\), \(\gamma_i\), \(a_i\), \(b_i\), and \(c_i\) for \(i \in \{1,2 \}\) and initial conditions \(x_0\), \(x_{- 1}\), \(y_0\), and \(y_{- 1}\) are positive real numbers. Furthermore, by constructing a discrete Lyapunov function, we obtain the global asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium. Some numerical examples are given to verify our theoretical results.
