Solvability of a product-type system of difference equations with six parameters (Q2417201)

The author study the solvability of a product-type system of difference equations in the following form: \[ z_{n+1} = \alpha z_n^a w_n^b, \quad w_{n+1}=\beta w_{n-1}^c z_n^d,\qquad n\in \mathbb{N}_0, \] where \(a, b, c, d \in \mathbb{Z}\), \(\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{C}\), and \(z_0, w_{-1}, w_0 \in \mathbb{C}\). The above system can be easily converted into a system of linear equations by applying the natural logarithm. Yet, to the author's credit, finding explicit formulas in all possible cases is quite challenging.
