Abstract
We investigate the global asymptotic behavior of solutions of the system of difference equations xn+1=(a+xn)/(b+yn), yn+1=(d+yn)/(e+xn), n=0,1,…, where the parameters a, b, d, and e are positive numbers and the initial conditions x0 and y0 are arbitrary nonnegative numbers. We obtain some asymptotic results for the positive equilibrium of this system.
