The Solution of a System of Higher-Order Difference Equations in Terms of Balancing Numbers

Ahmed Ghezal, Imane Zemmouri

Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in the closed-form solution of the following system of nonlinear difference equations of higher order,
un+1 = 1/34-vn-m , vn+1 = 1/34-un-m, n, m ∈ N0,
and the initial values u-j and v-j , j∈{0, 1, ..., m} are real numbers do not equal 34. We show that the solutions of this system are associated with Balancing numbers. As consequence, these solutions are also associated with Pell numbers, Pell-Lucas numbers, and Lucas-Balancing numbers. It is shown that the global stability of positive solutions of this system holds. Our results are illustrated via numerical examples.
