First-order product-type systems of difference equations solvable in closed form

Stevo Stevic

Abstract:
We show that the first-order system of difference equations
$$ z_{n+1}=\alpha z_n^aw_n^b,\quad w_{n+1}=\beta z_n^cw_n^d,\quad n\in\mathbb{N}_0, $$
where $a,b,c,d\in\mathbb{Z}$, $\alpha,\beta \in\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\}$, $z_0, w_0\in\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\}$, is solvable in closed form, by finding closed form formulas of its solutions.
