Solutions of a System of Two Higher-Order Difference Equations in Terms of Lucas Sequence
Abstract
In this paper we give some theoretical explanations related to the representation for the general solution of the system of the higher-order rational difference equations $$ x_{n+1} = \frac{5 y_{n-k}-5}{y_{n-k}}, \qquad y_{n+1} = \frac{5 x_{n-k}-5}{x_{n-k}} ,\qquad n, k\in \mathbb{N}_0, $$ where $\mathbb{N}_{0}=\mathbb{N}\cup \left\{0\right\}$, and the initial conditions $x_{-k}$, $x_{-k+1},\ldots$, $x_{0}$, $y_{-k}$, $y_{-k+1},\ldots$, $y_{0}$ are non zero real numbers such that their solutions are associated to Lucas numbers. We also study the stability character and asymptotic behavior of this system.
