Chaos in rational systems in the plane containing quadratic terms (Q450387)

The chaotic behavior in the sense of Li-Yorke of the system of two difference equations \[ Dx = f_1(x,y)\quad,\quad Dy = f_2(x,y) \] where \(Dx_n=x_{n+1}\), \(Dy_n=y_{n+1}\) and \[ \displaystyle{f_i(x,y) = {{A_ix^2+B_ixy+C_iy^2+D_ix+E_i+F_i}\over {\alpha_ix^2+\beta_ixy+\gamma_iy^2+\lambda_ix+\mu_iy+\nu_i}}\quad,\quad i=1,2} \] is considered. The results are proved for the case \(F_1=F_2=0\) and then a topological equivalence to the case \(F_1\neq 0\), \(F_2\neq 0\) is pointed out.
