    Abstract

    We give a complete description of the qualitative behavior of the
    second-order rational difference equation #166. We also establish the
    boundedness character for the rational system in the plane #(8,30).

    Abstract

    In this note we introduce and define half Cauchy sequences. We prove that a
    sequence of real numbers is convergent if and only if it is bounded and half
    Cauchy. We also provide an example of how the concept may be used.

  3. Some boundedness results for systems of two rational difference equations.

    Abstract

    We study kth order systems of two rational difference equations
    $$x_n=\frac{\alpha+\sum^{k}_{i=1}\beta_{i}x_{n-i} +
    \sum^{k}_{i=1}\gamma_{i}y_{n-i}}{A+\sum^{k}_{j=1}B_{j}x_{n-j} +
    \sum^{k}_{j=1}C_{j}y_{n-j}},\quad n\in\mathbb{N},$$
    $$y_n=\frac{p+\sum^{k}_{i=1}\delta_{i}x_{n-i} +
    \sum^{k}_{i=1}\epsilon_{i}y_{n-i}}{q+\sum^{k}_{j=1}D_{j}x_{n-j} +
    \sum^{k}_{j=1}E_{j}y_{n-j}},\quad n\in\mathbb{N}.$$ In particular we assume
    non-negative parameters and non-negative initial conditions.

  4. On systems of rational difference equations and periodic tetrachotomies.

    Subjects: Dynamical Systems
    Abstract

    We study the kth order system of two rational difference equations

    $$x_n=\frac{\beta_k x_{n-k} +\gamma_k y_{n-k}} {1+\sum_{j=1}^{k-1}B_j x_{n-j}
    + \sum_{j=1}^{k-1}C_{j}y_{n-j}}, n\in\mathbb{N},$$

    $$y_{n}=\frac{\delta_k x_{n-k} +\epsilon_k y_{n-k}} {1+\sum_{j=1}^{k-1}D_j
    x_{n-j} + \sum_{j=1}^{k-1}E_j y_{n-j}}, n\in\mathbb{N},$$ with nonnegative
    parameters and nonnegative initial conditions.

    We establish the existence of periodic tetrachotomy behavior which depends on
    the matrix $$(\begin{array}{cc} \beta_{k} & \gamma_k
