Description
Summary:Global dynamics of a system of nonlinear difference equations was investigated, which had five kinds of equilibria including isolated points and a continuum of nonhyperbolic equilibria along the coordinate axes. The local stability of these equilibria was analyzed which led to nine regions in the parameters space. The solution of the system converged to the equilibria or the boundary point (+∞,0) or (0,+∞) in each region depending on nonnegative initial conditions. These results completely described the behavior of the system.
