Abstract

In this paper, we consider geometric aspects of a rational, planar system of difference equations defined on the open first quadrant and whose behaviour is governed by four independent, non-negative parameters. This system, indexed as (23, 23) in the notation of Ladas (Open problems and conjectures, J. Differential Equ. Appl. 15(3) 2009, pp. 303-323), is one of the 200 systems from Ladas about which little is known. Using geometric techniques, we answer several questions concerning the behaviour of this system.
