On the system of high order rational difference equations \(x_{n}=\frac {a}{y_{n-p}}, y_{n}=\frac {by_{n-p}}{x_{n-q}{y_{n-q}}}\) (Q2490981)

The paper deals with the system of difference equations \[ x_n = \frac{a}{y_{n-p}}, \;y_n = \frac{by_{n-p}}{x_{n-q}y_{n-q}}, \;n=1,2,..., \eqno(1) \] where \(a\) and \(b\) are positive constants, \(p\) and \(q\) are positive integers, \(q\) is divisible by \(p\). The authors study monotonicity properties of positive solutions of (1). If \(a=b\) then every positive solution of (1) is periodic with period \(2q\).
