- Abstract
This paper is devoted to obtain the form of the solution and the qualitative properties of the following systems of a rational difference equations of order two ... with positive initial conditions x-1, x0, y-1 and y0 are nonzero real numbers. If we let un = xnxn-1 and vn = ynyn-1, then these systems can be viewed as special cases of the system of the form un+1 = f(vn), vn+1 = g(un). This system has applications in modeling population growth with age structure or the dynamics of plant-herbivore interaction. Let wn = u2n, we have wn+1 = f(g(wn)) ≠ h(wn). At a nonzero steady state w* of the last difference equation, we have |h'*)| = |f'(g(w*))g'(w*)| = 1,| indicating that the system is degenerate at this steady state.
