On a solvable four-dimensional system of difference equations

Abstract

Abstract In this paper we show that the following four-dimensional system of difference equations x n + 1 = y n α z n − 1 β , y n + 1 = z n γ t n − 1 δ , z n + 1 = t n ϵ x n − 1 μ , t n + 1 = x n ξ y n − 1 ρ , n ∈ N 0 , $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle x_{n+1}=y_{n}^{\alpha}z_{n-1}^{\beta}, \quad y_{n+1}=z_{n}^{\gamma}t_{n-1}^{\delta}, \quad z_{n+1}=t_{n}^{\epsilon}x_{n-1}^{\mu}, \quad t_{n+1}=x_{n}^{\xi}y_{n-1}^{\rho}, \qquad n\in \mathbb{N}_{0}, \end{array}$$ where the parameters α, β, γ, δ, ϵ, μ, ξ, ρ ∈ ℤ and the initial values x –i , y –i , z –i , t –i , i ∈ {0, 1}, are real numbers, can be solved in closed forms, extending further some results in literature.
