Abstract
Abstract We investigate global dynamics of the following systems of difference equations x n + 1 = α 1 + β 1 x n A 1 + y n y n + 1 = γ 2 y n A 2 + B 2 x n + y n , n = 0 , 1 , 2 , … where the parameters α 1, β 1, A 1, γ 2, A 2, B 2 are positive numbers, and the initial conditions x 0 and y 0 are arbitrary nonnegative numbers. We show that this system has rich dynamics which depends on the region of parametric space. We show that the basins of attractions of different locally asymptotically stable equilibrium points or non-hyperbolic equilibrium points are separated by the global stable manifolds of either saddle points or non-hyperbolic equilibrium points. We give examples of a globally attractive non-hyperbolic equilibrium point and a semi-stable non-hyperbolic equilibrium point. We also give an example of two local attractors with precisely determined basins of attraction. Finally, in some regions of parameters, we give an explicit formula for the global stable manifold.

Summary
We study the global dynamics of the following rational system of difference equations (1). The following theorems were proved by Kulenović and Merino [2] for competitive systems in the plane, when one of the eigenvalues of the linearized system at an equilibrium (hyperbolic or non-hyperbolic) is by absolute value smaller than 1 while the other has an arbitrary value These results are useful for determining basins of attraction of fixed points of competitive maps. The following result gives information on local dynamics near a fixed point of a map when there exists a characteristic vector whose coordinates have negative product and such that the associated eigenvalue is hyperbolic. This is a well-known result, valid in much more general setting that we include it here for completeness.
