Abstract :
In this paper under some conditions on the constants A; B 2 .0;1/ we study the existence
of positive solutions, the existence of a unique nonnegative equilibrium and the conver-
gence of the positive solutions to the nonnegative equilibrium of the system of difference
equations
xnC1 D .1 yn yn1/.1 eAyn /; ynC1 D .1 xn xn1/.1 eBxn /
where A; B 2 .0;1/ and the initial values x1; x0; y1; y0 are positive numbers which sat-
isfy the relations x0Cx1 < 1; y0Cy1 < 1; 1y0 > .1x0x1/.1eBx0 /; 1x0 >
.1 y0 y1/.1 eAy0 /.
