Some General Systems of Rational Difference Equations

Abstract

We investigate behavior of solutions of the following systems of rational difference equations: xn+1=yn-3k-1/(±1±yn-(3k-1)xn-(2k-1)yn-(k-1)),yn+1=xn-3k-1/(±1±xn-3k-1yn-2k-1xn-k-1), where k is a positive integer and the initial conditions are real numbers. We show that every solution is periodic with 6k period, considerably improving the results in the literature.
