Periodic and Chaotic Orbits of a Discrete Rational System

We study a rational planar system consisting of one linear-affine and one linear-fractional difference equation. If all of the system’s parameters are positive (so that the positive quadrant is invariant and the system is continuous), then we show that the unique fixed point of the system in the pos...
