Summary: | The aim of this article is to study the system of piecewise linear difference equations <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>x</mi><mrow><mi>n</mi><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></msub><mo>=</mo><mrow><mo>|</mo><msub><mi>x</mi><mi>n</mi></msub><mo>|</mo></mrow><mo>−</mo><msub><mi>y</mi><mi>n</mi></msub><mo>−</mo><mi>b</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>y</mi><mrow><mi>n</mi><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></msub><mo>=</mo><msub><mi>x</mi><mi>n</mi></msub><mo>−</mo><mrow><mo>|</mo><msub><mi>y</mi><mi>n</mi></msub><mo>|</mo></mrow><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> where <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>n</mi><mo>≥</mo><mn>0</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>. A global behavior for <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>b</mi><mo>=</mo><mn>4</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> shows that all solutions become the equilibrium point. For a large value of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mrow><mo>|</mo></mrow><msub><mi>x</mi><mn>0</mn></msub><mrow><mo>|</mo></mrow></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mrow><mo>|</mo></mrow><msub><mi>y</mi><mn>0</mn></msub><mrow><mo>|</mo></mrow></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, we can prove that (i) if <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>b</mi><mo>=</mo><mn>5</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, then the solution becomes the equilibrium point and (ii) if <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>b</mi><mo>≥</mo><mn>6</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, then the solution becomes the periodic solution of prime period 5.
