On nonautonomous discrete dynamical systems driven by means

Abstract

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of nonautonomous discrete dynamical systems governed by the system of difference equations (recursive equations): y j (n+1) = F j (n,y,(n)); j = 1,...,k, n = 0,1,2,..., where y(n) = (y1(n),...,y k (n)) k, y(0) = x, and F j (n,·) is a mean of k (≥ 2) positive real numbers, that is, a real-valued function satisfying the internality property min(x) ≤ F j (n,x) ≤ max(x).
